Hello,

 

I have been using the Microsoft remote desktop app for some time now and have been mainly connecting to RDP sessions through the "PCs" connection via hostname + password. Due to migration to an Azure VDI, we are now required to login to a "Workspace" connection VIA Microsoft credentials. I am able to login to my windows 11 machine through workspaces and have noticed that copy and pasting files from my local macbook (or another RDP session) to the workspace machine simply doesn't work anymore. I am able to copy and paste text from another machine to the workspace and I am also able to copy and paste files locally on the workspace machine, but not across the session. I am also able to copy and paste files across machines through "PCs" connections.

 

I have verified that the clipboard is enabled in "Devices & Audio". I have also verified that group policies such as "Do not allow Clipboard redirection and "Do not allow drive redirection" are disabled. I have not been able to determine if this is simply a windows 11 issue, a bug with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac app through "Workspaces", or if some setting is not enabled somewhere.

 

My current solution is to access a shared drive, but it is far less convenient than being able to seamlessly copy and paste from session to session.

 

Please let me know what other approaches I can take here

Same to me, this is a necessary option when we are working with Workspaces:
