Issues with saving changes when using folder redirection
Answered
We use VMware Horizon for our VDI infrastructure (Virtual Desktop). This is a non persistent VM, so it gets destroyed every time VM is turned off. Because of that users can't store files in C drive. Their Dektop, Documents and Pictures are redirected to a storage server using UNC path (\\DOMAIN\FOLDER\FOLDER\USER\DOCUMENTS). When Intelli workspace is in such folder it can't save changes and also shows an error "Failed to save settings". It only works ok if user copies workspace to C drive. But it is obviously gets deleted when VM is turned off. Can we somehow work around this or is Intelli not compatible with folder redirection?

Hello Oleg,
UNC paths aren't supported yet. Please follow the related issues on YouTrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-123273, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-119608
I guess this applies also if we map such network drive (UNC) path as a local drive? Tried to do that and mapped \\DOMAIN\Folder as D drive in Windows 10 VDI machine. Imported some project from such drive. At first it worked, but then the same "Failed to save setting" error appeared. I'm not able to recreate this error with a simple Hello World/cmd application. I'm not a developer, so i can't test complex projects that our contractors work on.
