AppsToGo: Sign In Using Citrix Workspace or Citrix Web

You can log in AppsToGo using either Citrix Workspace or the Citrix web version. Use this article for steps to log in using either method.

  • If you are able to download and use the full Citrix Workspace client, please continue to do so as it provides full functionality and an improved experience.
  • You can also access AppsToGo without downloading the Citrix client, using the Citrix web version. Users who are unable to run the Citrix Workspace client on their device can opt for the web version of the client and use your web browser, such as Firefox or Chrome, to open apps. 

Notes:

  • Citrix web does not provide direct access to the local drives. Use the full Citrix Workspace client for direct access to local storage.
  • There is a known issue with launching Cloud Desktops via Citrix Web. Use the full Citrix Workspace client if you are accessing the Cloud Desktops.
