 You can now navigate to one of the shared folders and access it like it was a local folder. All changes will be replicated instantly. Note that on the Linux side, you will always see file extensions (like ''.bmp'' in our example) as well as files that may be present, but hidden from you due to system settings on the Windows side.  This behavior can be changed on the Windows side and is not specific to X2Go.  Default behavior of Windows is to hide known file extensions as well as entire files with file system attributes ''hidden'' and/or ''system''.
+===== Manually mounting Shared Folders on Demand =====
+If you've decided against using the Automount feature, you will need to mount the Shared Folder(s) manually before you can use them.
+How you mount them manually depends on what checkboxes you checked under
+''Options/Settings/General'' in X2GoClient:

+{{:doc:howto:filesharing-11.png|}}
+If you set X2GoClient to minimize into the system tray (any of the ''Hide...'' options in the screenshot above), then:
+{{:doc:howto:filesharing-12.png|}}
+Right-click the session icon next to the clock, select the session name (in our example: ''MATE-FileSharing test''), then ''Share folder ...''.
+{{:doc:howto:filesharing-13.png|}}
+If, instead, you have the X2GoClient window on your screen even with an active connection (noticeable by the two X2Go-related items in your taskbar, as highlighted by the two red arrows in the screenshot), click on the small ''folder icon'', that's the left of the three icons ''Folder'', ''Pause'', ''Power'' marked in the red box in the screenshot.
+From there, the steps are the same again for both variants:
+{{:doc:howto:filesharing-14.png|}}
+Click the name of the share (in our example: ''C:\Users\WindowsUserAccount\Downloads'') in the window that has opened, then click the ''share'' button to confirm your selection.
