Based on your usage, this warning message appears in the following scenarios: Tech Insight - Citrix Workspace app. Sep 25, 2016 Hi, I have upgraded Mac Book PRO to Sierra 10.12.3 and also have upgraded Citrix receiver to 12.4.0, and using safari can not access my company desktop application. I have only managed to launch it only once by doing the following: uninstalled Citrix receiver 12.4.0. Citrix Files Drive is Unavailable. Citrix Files gives you access to the files on your Workspace account by making them available as a storage drive (like an SD card or a thumb drive). This drive needs to mount itself into your Mac's file system before files can be accessed from Citrix Files.
Once known as Citrix Receiver, Citrix Workspace is a subscription-based Mac desktop application where employees and freelancers can work together in the same space. Much like VirtualBox and AnyDesk, you can view personalized tasks or other apps with an improved focus away from distractions. The system also lets you manage the network and devices in a way that makes workers more productive.
The workspace is virtually surrounded by an intelligent security perimeter to ensure that all your records and data remain protected. Your team can access data locally or via the cloud, whether on a PC or mobile device.
Top features of Citrix Workspace
Citrix has four different subscription packages based on the features you want to install. The time it takes to install on your device or server depends on the number of users and how many functions you need. Some of these include VPN, SSO, multifactor authentication, virtual apps, cloud management, and storage.
Employee engagement and productivity
Many businesses use Citrix Workspace on Mac to improve employee productivity. Two of the top features that pave the way to this success are the ease of access to information and collaboration. Your team can also assist with digital transformation in the company using engaging tools with the best functionality.
What happened to Citrix Receiver?
As of August 2018, the developers ceased updating the older version called Citrix Receiver. While you can still download previous versions of Receiver for Mac, you won’t receive any updates. All of the latest features are going into Workspace instead.
Our take
If you have a business with several employees and struggling to meet deadlines, perhaps Citrix Workspace is what you need. There are a few free alternatives out there, but none of them have the depth and functionality of this Mac app. You’ll see a vast improvement in productivity and engagement with numerous apps at your disposal.
Should I download it?
Yes, but only if you’re willing to foot the bill. You’ll pay per user, which can be expensive you have a massive company. Of course, if productivity equates to better revenue, it may just be worth paying for.
