Move files in and out ​

Files move through one folder on the desktop: Chromium's Downloads folder. The Files box under the Clipboard box shows what is in it.

Send a file to the desktop ​

  1. Drop files on the Files box, or choose Send files to browser.
  2. Wait for the progress bar to finish. The file is now listed.

Then use it in one of two ways:

  • Paste it. A file you send is also put on the desktop's clipboard. Click into a page that accepts pasted files and press Ctrl+V.
  • Attach it. Use the site's upload button. The file chooser opens in the Downloads folder. Pick the file.

To paste a file that is already listed, use the copy button next to it first.

A file is never replaced. If the name is taken, the new file gets a name such as report (1).pdf.

Save a file from the desktop ​

  1. Download the file in the desktop's browser as usual. It lands in the Downloads folder and appears in the Files box.
  2. Choose Save next to it to save it on your computer.

Delete a file ​

Choose Delete next to the file and confirm.

Limits ​

  • A file may be up to 100 MB.
  • The folder shares the session's disk with the browser profile. When the disk is full, sending fails with The session's disk is full.
  • Folders cannot be sent, only files.
  • The Files box is shown while the session is running.
