Using CloudPC with the Citrix Receiver
The Citrix Receiver has been tested successfully in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari.
In Chrome - including on a Chromebook - you will be using CloudPC with the HTML5 client. See below for more information on the HTML5 client.
Connecting to Your Local and Network Drives
When you connect to a CloudPC session with the Citrix Receiver, the options you have to save or open files will look a bit different than those available to you on your local machine.

The Chrome browser does not currently support the Citrix Receiver plugin. Instead, it runs CloudPC applications within the browser using the HTML5 client.
