I also connect via RDP to Linux systems using the Virtual Drive option, and it mounts the drive automatically without issue - I don't have to use any smb-specific path with this, and I never get prompted for authentication. > In summary, I don't know if the way I set the RDP virtual drive with > docker is fine.

As you mentioned above, the Docker container has to have permissions to access the volume/directory you are sharing via RDP virtual drive, and that is expected. I believe the issue you're seeing is more related to how the Linux server is expected to connect to the virtual drive, and I do not believe this has anything to do with Docker or even Guacamole. -Nick
