Transfer files from Remote Desktop to local machine Mac
Copy files with Remote DesktopYou can copy any files to one or more client computers, except for system software files. Show Copying files works fastest with a small number of files. For example, copying ten files that are 10 KB each takes longer than copying one file that’s 100 KB. For faster copying, copy a single file archive (like a .zip file) to remote computers. If a client computer is asleep when you attempt to copy items, you must use Remote Desktop to wake the target computer and then copy the items. File Sharing through RDP from MacOSStep 1: Launch the Microsoft Remote Desktop application and fill out the computer and username fields, following our guide here if you would like instructions: https://cat.pdx.edu/platforms/mac/remote-access/using-rdp-to-connect-to-a-windows-computer-from-macos/ Step 2: Click on the “folders” tab, and then click the “Redirect folders” check box. Step 3: Click the plus (“+”) button in the lower left corner to select a new folder to make available for folder sharing. Once a folder has been added (in this case, desktop), it will appear in the list of shared folders, as shown below. The minus (“-“) button in the lower left hand corner can be used to remove a folder you no longer want to be available for sharing. Step 4: From within the remote session, navigate to “This PC” within the File Explorer. The drives that you have selected will appear under the “Redirected drives and folders” section. Step 5:Drag files to and from the drive like you would any other folder. Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac - Clipboard does not allow copying files when using "Workspaces" connectionHi, Two users and myself found out that recently (perhaps in the last month or two), copying and pasting files from our Remote Desktop session (connected to a Windows server) to the local Mac desktop no longer works. Only copying text works. (I have tried looking everywhere and there seems to be no such configuration -- the solution in a previous forum post was for "PCs" not "Workspaces". In the "Workspaces" tab we are not able to access the same settings as under the "PCs" tab, so we cannot adjust whether clipboard is shared.)

I found that the clicking the refresh button on the upper right hand corner of the Work Resources icon seems to work. Not sure if that is what fixed it but now I can copy files from Mac to RDS and vice versa. click-refresh-button-on-remote-desktop.png (18.0 KiB) Comment Comment Show 0 Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded
