Move files and the clipboard

Your computer and the desktop are separate machines. Two boxes under the screen connect them.

Send text to the desktop

1. Choose Send my clipboard, or paste text into the Clipboard box and choose Send to browser.
2. Click where it should go on the desktop and press Ctrl+V.

Get text from the desktop

1. Copy it on the desktop with Ctrl+C. It appears in the Clipboard box.
2. Choose Copy.

The desktop runs Linux: its shortcuts use Ctrl, also when you are on a Mac.

Send a file to the desktop

Drop the file anywhere on the session's page, or choose Send files to browser. You can also click the Files box and paste a copied file or screenshot.

The file lands in the desktop's Downloads folder and is listed in the Files box. It is also put on the desktop's clipboard, so Ctrl+V in a page that accepts pasted files attaches it. Or use the site's upload button: the file chooser opens in the Downloads folder.

A file is never replaced. A taken name becomes report (1).pdf.

Get a file from the desktop

Download it in the desktop's browser. It appears in the Files box. Choose Save.

Delete a file

Choose Delete next to it and confirm.

Limits

100 MB a file. Files only, not folders. The folder shares the session's 5 GB disk. See Limits.
