Copy and Paste

Virtual Desktop allows you to copy/paste to and from your local computer.

*Note: the instructions below are to be used when your typical copy/paste functions do not work. Due to browser limitations, you will sometimes find you need to use the Copy/Paste function in your Virtual Desktop. Instructions for use are below. 

The Virtual Desktop menu bar allows you to upload and download your clipboard contents. To copy to or from do the following:
