Where to access "Share folder" on Remote Desktop host?
Upgrade Remmina. I'd suggest using the PPA. The stock version of Remmina in 14.04 is pretty well back and you should find Server 2012 share folder functionality is working in the newer versions where it isn't in the non-PPA version.
To install it, just copy and paste the following three lines on a terminal window
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

I am using
Remote Desktop
inUbuntu 2012.10
to connect toWindows Server 2012
.I configured
/home/nico/myshare
in theShare folder
field, last item below:Once connected, where to access
myshare
on the Windows side?I am sure
myshare
is used somehow, because when I remove it Remote Desktop crashes.-
Admin about 11 yearsIn the screenshot you provided the
Share Folder
is disabled which likely means it cannot be enabled. -
Admin about 11 years@Ramhound: That was an image from the web. I replaced with an actual screenshot I just took.

Admin about 11 yearsHave you setup a share folder on Windows?

Admin about 11 yearsI just want to access the
myshare
folder from Windows... so I guess I don't need to setup ashare folder on Windows, right? Or do you have any documentation proving otherwise? That could be an answer.

Admin over 8 yearsI also had to manually upgrade
libfreerdp-plugins-standard
; for some reason the dependencies weren't properly set in the packages:sudo apt-get install libfreerdp-plugins-standard

Admin over 8 yearsI was sceptical, but yes, this is the right answer. I upgraded from Remmina 0.9.99.1 to Remmina 1.2.0-rcgit.5 by following the steps in this answer, and then my Shared Folder appeared in Windows Server 2012 machine under 'This PC' (which was called 'My Computer', last time I had to use Windows). WARNING: Upgrading apparently makes saved passwords disappear.

Admin over 8 yearsYeah, I tried a bunch of other stuff first also. Apparently something with the protocol changed or a level of security was added or something that required some change. Glad it worked out for you Michael!
