Configure the Cloud + Local Mode

Use the Cloud + Local Mode to open all your files either on the cloud or the local system.

1. Log in to Wyse Management Suite.
2. Go to the Groups & Configs page, and select your preferred group.
3. Click Edit Policies > Dell Hybrid Client 2.x.
   The Configuration Control | Dell Hybrid Client 2.x page is displayed.
4. Click the Advanced tab.
5. Expand File Affiliation, and click File Affiliation Settings.
6. From the File Affiliation drop-down list, select Cloud + Local.
7. Select a priority, either Cloud or Local.

   If the priority is set to Cloud, files open on the cloud. If cloud is not configured, files open on the local system.

   If the priority is set to Local, files check the local mapping first. If the local mapping is valid, file opens with the local application.

   • Azure—Select Azure and do the following:
     1. Enter the Azure Client ID.
     2. Enter the Azure Tenant Name.
     3. Enter the Azure Client Secret.
     4. Browse and select the icon for Cloud Home. If you do not configure this option, the default icon is used.

   • GCP—Select Azure and do the following:
     1. Enter the GCP Client ID.
     2. Enter the GCP Client Secret.

     NOTE:Box account is a personal cloud storage without any associated applications. If the Box account is configured along with an Azure or GCP corporate account, we can launch local files using Azure or GCP corporate account but you cannot launch the local files with Box cloud directly. This can be done by uploading the local file to Box cloud and opening the file using the respective personal Box account.
9. Log in to Dell Hybrid Client.
10. Double-click a file.

    The file opens on the cloud or the local system based on the priority defined. If there is no network (offline), the file opens on the local system provided the local mapping is valid. If local mapping is not available, you cannot open the file and an error message is displayed.
