Description

I have successfully configured winapps which works perfectly if I keep my files under home directory. AFAIK, it is mainly due to the mounting of share locations by freerdp command.

My issue is that lot of my files are kept in separate drive which is auto mounted at /mnt/Data directory. If I try to open a file from this directory, it say path not found (naturally, this is what expected).

My query is "how do I access the files kept in separate directory other than /home"?

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the FreeRDP command that mounts home-directory shares and compare its handling of /mnt/Data; reproduce the path-not-found case and identify the relevant configuration or code path. Done means files outside /home can be accessed, with the behavior documented or covered by a verification step.
