Hi FabienG,

There is no native way to transfer files between the local computer and the WorkSpace, this is by design for a higher level of security. I personally use a cloud storage service to fill in this gap. I use Amazon WorkDocs, but you could also use Dropbox, Google Drive, or other. You would, of course, need to have the permissions on your Workspace to be able to install those clients. If you don't have a client installed, those cloud services also have equivalent websites to go to directly to upload/download your files. Keep in mind that your organization can audit/block any traffic they want so those methods might not work for you.

Hope this helps!
