Dragging and Dropping

The drag and drop feature works differently depending on the Horizon Agent version and how it is configured.

With Horizon Agent 7.9 and later, you can drag and drop files, folders, text, rich text, and images between the client system and remote desktops and published applications. With earlier Horizon Agent versions, you can drag and drop text, rich text, and images from the client system to a remote desktop through clipboard redirection. You can drag and drop files from the client system to a published application through file association.

Depending on the Horizon Agent version, a Horizon administrator can use certain group policy settings or Smart Policies to configure drag and drop behavior. For complete information about configuring the drag and drop feature, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document for your Horizon version.

To enable the full drag and drop functionality to published applications, including support for browser-based file uploads, the client and agent must be updated to version 2506 or later.
