# I can't access my Mac hard disks

| Show All

Cause: The Mac hard disk is not shared with the Windows-based computer.

| Solution: Select the Mac disk or folder that you want to make available to the Windows-based computer.

1. On the RDC menu, click Preferences.

2. Click Drives, and then on the pop-up menu, select the option that you want.

   Your disk or folder is now available so that you can access files that are on your Mac from the Windows-based computer.

3. On the Windows-based computer, click Start, and then click Computer or My Computer.

   The Mac disk or folder that you have made available is listed with all other disks and folders on your Windows-based computer.

Cause: Terminal Services Group Policy does not allow disk sharing.

| Solution: Contact the network administrator about your Terminal Services Group Policy.

Group Policy overrides any preference that you set in Remote Desktop Connection. When Terminal Services Group Policy prohibits disk sharing, you cannot see your Mac disks on the Windows-based computer.
