I'm searching for a full description how to share a folder with Remmina. While there are already questions regarding the location of the folder (see here) or why sharing a folder does not work (see here), I could not find any questions regarding the steps necessary to share a folder with Remmina.

On the client:

• Make sure that Remmina is newer than 1.2, because of potential bugs related to sharing a folder (see this link)

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libfreerdp-plugins-standard remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

• Start Remmina

• Right click on the connection / click on edit, check "share folder" and select a folder on the client

• Click on save

Potentially restart the client / server

On the server:

• On Ubuntu the shared folder appears under /home/<username>/thinclient_drives/ (tested with Ubuntu 18.04). Note: In my case the folder name consisted only of the first 8 eight letters of the shared folder (e.g "ClientSh" instead of "ClientShare")
• On Windows the folder appears under \\tsclient\<SHARED_FOLDER_NAME> (according to this answer)
