Windows 10: Microsoft Remote Desktop Microsoft Store Not showing Option to share local resources

Hello,We had to move to the new Remote Desktop app due to issues on the built in Windows Remote Desktop application. However, this application does not have the ability to share printers or drives with the remote connection. If I click on the Ellipsis of my connection and click 'edit', then click "Show More" and scroll all the way to the bottom, Under 'Local resources' I only see a toggle for Clipboard, a drop down for Audio Playback, and a toggle for Audio Recording. Is this intended or is there some other place to enable local resource sharing? I tried to upload a screenshot but that was

:)

 

Remote Desktop App - share resources

Using the Remote Desktop App from the Store I have not been able to share resources of the host computer with the remote desktop.

No such option is available and it seems like one cannot share the local drives with the remote desktop.

Is this a limitation of the app?
