Open remote files locally,
as if they were always there
TwinPane mirrors your local folders into your remote session. Double-click any file and it opens on your local machine with full native performance.
Built for enterprise Windows environments
Two panes, one seamless experience
TwinPane eliminates the friction between your remote desktop session and local machine.
Local File Opening
Double-click a file in your AVD session and it opens instantly on your local PC with the native application. Files are transferred in milliseconds.
Mirror Mode
Automatically mirror your Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folders from your local PC into the remote session via a virtual drive.
Virtual Drive
Access your local drives as a virtual X: drive in the remote session. Browse, copy, and manage files as if they were local.
Real-time Connection
Proprietary technology delivers files instantly with efficient compression. No polling, no delays—just immediate file delivery over a secure channel.
Windows Defender Scan
Optional automatic virus scanning before opening any transferred file. Security-first approach for enterprise environments.
No slow RDP Drive Redirection
Works independently of RDP drive redirection policies. IT admins can keep drive redirection disabled while users get seamless file access.
File access is broken in published apps
RemoteApp and XenApp publish individual applications—not full desktops. This creates unique file-access headaches that traditional drive redirection was never designed to solve.
No File Explorer
Published apps launch without a desktop shell. There is no File Explorer to browse, organize, or locate files on either side.
Virtual X: drive & Mirror Mode
TwinPane creates a virtual X: drive and mirrors your Desktop, Documents, and Downloads directly into every Open/Save dialog—no Explorer needed.
Confusing Open / Save dialogs
File dialogs show the remote server’s file system. Users cannot find their local Desktop, Documents, or Downloads folders.
Local folders appear automatically
Mirror Mode places your real local folders right where users expect them in file dialogs. No \\tsclient paths, no confusion.
Drive redirection disabled or slow
IT teams often disable RDP drive redirection for security. Even when enabled, \\tsclient paths are slow and unfamiliar to users.
Works without drive redirection
TwinPane uses a secure virtual channel instead of mapped drives. IT can keep drive redirection disabled—no policy conflicts.
Files saved to the wrong location
Users save to “Desktop” or “Documents” expecting local storage, but files land on the remote server where they cannot find them later.
Open files locally in one click
Double-click any file inside the published app and it opens on the local PC with the native application. No Save As, no wrong location.
No drag-and-drop or file clipboard
Published apps don’t support drag-and-drop between local and remote windows. File clipboard redirection is often restricted by policy.
Instant file transfer over virtual channel
Files transfer in milliseconds through a compressed virtual channel. No clipboard, no drag-and-drop needed—just double-click.
Shadow IT workarounds
Frustrated users resort to emailing files to themselves, using personal cloud storage, or uploading to unauthorized services.
A supported, secure path for every user
Users get an IT-approved file workflow out of the box. No more emailing files or uploading to unauthorized cloud services.
