Moving Files To A Mac From Microsoft Remote Desktop

I had a peculiar issue with copying and pasting files from my local computer to a Remote Desktop session. I could copy and paste locally, but the option to paste would be grayed out on the Remote Desktop computer. There are several ways to solve this problem depending on what you are trying to copy and paste.

Here's how: In Remote Desktop on your Mac select your PC in the 'My Desktops' section. Click the 'Edit' button (pencil icon). In the popup click the 'Redirection' button (folder icon; see image below). Check the 'Enable folder redirection' box. Click the '+' button at the bottom of that window. Or at least make the new version the default app for RDP files. The feature of moving between the remote session and the mac desktop breaks multi screen mode. If you click the green window button to make your window small, then click it again to re maximise, it goes back to one screen. In the Connection Center, right-click the remote desktop. Click Export. Browse to the location where you want to save the remote desktop.RDP file. Use the following steps to import a remote desktop.RDP file. In the menu bar, click File Import. Browse to the.RDP file. Add a remote resource.

Client Settings

  1. Right-click on the RDP icon that you use to connect, then select “Edit“.
  2. Select the “Local Resources” tab.
  3. Check the “Clipboard” option. To allow file copying and pasting, select “More…” and proceed to step 4. If you just need the ability to copy and paste text and not files, stop here and click “OK“.
  4. Select the “Drives” option. Click “OK“, then “OK” again.
