I have a Windows 7 Virtual Machine setup, that I remote into using my Macbook Pro. I'm using Microsoft Remote Desktop 2014, and have Folder Redirection setup. I don't see where the redirected folders are supposed to show up on my VM? It should be a folder called Projects. Screenshot below shows no redirected folders:
Thank you
Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client has two very interesting (and very un-mac like) designs:
Invoking the app a second time simply raises the connection in process. You've no doubt tried to launch a "second instance" of the app this way, and been annoyed that it doesn't work. Don't worry, you're not alone, that's un-expected behavior.
As you see from my screenshot, it's as simple as File -> New Connection
However, don't try and use the ⌘n shortcut. If you're connected to a remote computer then shortcuts no longer work, and in fact, shortcuts are actually completely unbound after you connect to something. That's invariably due to the fact that because most keyboard shortcuts get sent through to the remote computer.
So, File -> New Connection. A new icon will appear in your Dock, and you will be prompted for the remote host address. One advantage to this 'un-mac like' convention is that it's simple to switch between remote hosts with one icon per connection in your Dock.
Try adding .\ in front of your email address. I'm not familiar with Windows 8, but with previous versions this directs Windows to perform authentication on the local system, rather than on the domain in which it resides.
If this doesn't work, try also hostname\, where hostname is the name of the computer you are trying to log into.

It should show up under Devices with Removable Storage. When you add the folder in Remote Desktop try clicking browse when adding the folder and confirm its the right path to the projects folder.
