This drive needs to mount itself into your Mac's file system before files can be accessed from Citrix Files. Nov 09, 2018 Citrix Receiver is version 12.9.1 for Mac from their website. It is listed as compatible to MacOs 10.13. Mojave isn't mentioned on their site. By the way, Citrix Receiver 12.9.1 doesn't work for me either under Mojave.
