I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop on Mac. Trying to access USB drive. Using information provided in the link https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/enterprise-mobility-security/introducing-microsoft-remotefx-usb-redirection-part-1/ba-p/247035#. The client side instructions only cover Windows client not Mac. The Microsoft RDP client on MAC does not provide option to manage local resource to enable “Other supported RemoteFX USB devices”

    If the printer is locally connected with your Mac and can be printed if log on Mac directly?

    If so, then you can access it in the RDP session using https://www.net-usb.com/usb-over-rdp/
