The My Computer connector is a unique connector in that it is created by default when you install DryvIQ. Due to this, the connector is not configurable in DryvIQ.

...

The following information is required to understand how to use the My Computer connector correctly:

  • The My Computer Connector uses the DryvIQ Manager service account user as the user it connects to the computer with, not the logged-on user.

  • Files stored under the DryvIQ Manager service users account for folder such as Downloads, Desktops, and Documents, etc. will be visible.

  • To see the logged-on users folders, you will need to explicitly share them with the DryvIQ Manager service user.

  • Folders may appear to be empty if the DryvIQ Manager service user does not have permission to access them.

  • To change the user that is used in the My Computer connector, you would need to change the DryvIQ Manager service account user.

Features and Limitations 

...

If the "My Computer" connection will not be used, it is recommended that the connection be disabled or deleted. This applies to both Managers and Remote Sites. To disable or delete the connection:

  1. Open a connection to the DryvIQ database via command line or management console

  2. Perform one of the following actions on the Connections table, where ConnectionID equals '5dc531df34554edd96c31272262ad950':

    1. Delete the record 

    2. Set the IsActive value to 0 (zero) 

Recommendations

It is also recommended that users be created in the context of a group. This avoids security issues associated with implicit access to the "My Computer" connection by global administrators. See Access Control - Groups, Roles, and Permissions for additional information.
