Redirect your local drives and clipboard in AVD
Copy-paste and access to your local files inside AVD depend on redirection settings in the client. Usually on by default.
- Most setups already allow copy and paste of text between your PC and the session; try it first.
- If paste fails, close the session and check the client’s settings for clipboard redirection.
- To reach your local files, look for your PC’s drives under This PC inside the session, often shown as redirected drives.
- If they’re missing, enable Local devices and resources → Drives in the connection settings, then reconnect.
- Note that large file copies are slow over redirection; for big files, use OneDrive or a network share instead.
