Open the Chrome Web Store and search for Citrix Workspace to download and install the app to your Chromebook. NOTE: Use the Citrix Workspace App to access AppsToGo, NOT your web browser. MacOS or iOS Devices Open Self Service, click on and install Citrix Workspace. Subject: Using Citrix on a Chromebook The SRS Citrix team does not officially support Chromebooks but we will try to help you if we can. We only officially support Windows 10 because other non-Microsoft Operating Systems can be very fussy. Google Web Store is the app/extension store for all Chrome devices. This store contains the Citrix Workspace for Chrome version. The applications/extensions here are available across ANY Chrome device (including things like CloudReady devices and extensions for Chrome browser running on non-Chrome devices).
Instead of deploying .cr file to many users, Google policies can be used to configure Receiver for Chrome. This works by using a new feature called App Management which was added in Google Chrome management console for admins to push Chrome app specific policies. To configure Receiver, admin needs to upload a policy text file which contains the settings.
This tool can be used to create/edit the policy file by following the steps mentioned below:
1) Upload an already created .txt google policy file or Enter the appropriate values.
2) Select Google policy as the format to save the information.
3) Click on save button to save the file on the local file system.
The saved policy file created can be directly uploaded in Google Chrome management console to push the policies to Receiver for Chrome.
Note: Google policy required for configuring Receiver for Chrome is currently a tech preview capability from Google. Please contact your Google Sales Representative to get access.
This tool can also be used to create/edit the .cr file that can be distributed to the users to configure Receiver for Chrome in case you cannot use Google Policy.
