Where can you run this program?
I use Citrix to be able to log into my work PC from home. Previously, I found a way to force chrome to download the.ica files, instead of automatically opening them in chrome. IMHO, the in-browser version is totally horrible, and the actual Citrix Workspace app is fully functional, and 100 times more usable. Updated: August 13, 2018. One of the most popular enterprise applications deployed on Chrome OS is the Citrix Workspace (formerly Receiver) app. Citrix enables organizations to securely connect. Developer documentation and code samples for Citrix on-premise product APIs, SDKs, and open source projects. Because Citrix developed the Workspace app for Chrome OS in the Chrome framework, it has somewhat limited access to the underlying system. This is by design on Google's part, but it limits the use of advanced features that Citrix has created over the past few years.
Apart from installing the Chrome extension, you can run Citrix on all Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux, Android compatible operating systems.
