Copy and paste, and files

Copy and paste

While you're connected, text and pictures you copy on the PC reach the device you're using, and the other way round.

On a computer: copy on the PC and press Ctrl+V on your computer, or copy on your computer and press Ctrl+V in the viewer.
On a phone: when something is copied on the PC, tap Tap to copy when it appears. To paste on the PC, use Paste to PC in the key row.
Pictures can be up to 10 MB, such as a screenshot. Copied files aren't sent this way; use Files, below.
Some browsers ask whether DextraDesk may use the clipboard. Click Allow.
To stop sharing the clipboard, turn it off in the viewer's Settings.
Nothing is shared while the PC shows its sign-in or lock screen, or an administrator prompt.

Drag files onto the picture, or click Files and choose them. On a phone, Files lets you pick photos or files.
They land in the PC's Downloads folder, and the PC shows a note for each one. A file with the same name is never overwritten.
Up to 2 GB per file.

Click Files → Get from PC. A Windows Open window appears on the PC's screen: pick one or more files, and your browser downloads them.

Copied text, pictures and files are encrypted between your browser and your PC, and we never see them.
