Amazon AppStream 2.0 is enhancing the end-user experience by introducing support for local files redirection on multi-session fleets. While this feature is already available on single-session fleets, this launch extends it to multi-session fleets, helping administrators to leverage the cost benefits of the multi-session model while providing an enhanced end-user experience.
Local file redirection on AppStream helps deliver benefits by enabling seamless access to local files directly from streaming applications, enhancing user productivity and experience. This feature reduces the need for manual file uploads and downloads, providing a natural, desktop-like experience with intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. Users can more efficiently manage their workflows while helping to maintain security through controlled access to local resources and secure file handling between environments.
This feature is available at no additional cost in all the AWS Regions where Amazon AppStream 2.0 is available. AppStream 2.0 offers pay-as-you go pricing. To get started with AppStream 2.0, see Getting Started with Amazon AppStream 2.0.
To enable this feature for your users, you must use an AppStream 2.0 image that uses latest AppStream 2.0 agent or has been updated using Managed AppStream 2.0 image updates released on or after September 05, 2025.
