Dragging Text and Image Files

You can drag a text or image file from local storage on the client device to a published application or open application in a remote desktop and drop the file's content into the application. To use this feature, you must have an Android 7.0 or later device.

For example, if you are using an Android phone, you can select Settings > Storage > Explore or open the MyFiles app, select a folder, and drag a text file to the WordPad application in a remote desktop.

This feature has the following limitations.

• You can drag a maximum of 1 MB of data.
• You cannot drag Rich Text Format (RTF) text.
• If you select multiple files, only the content of the first file is dropped into the application.
• You cannot drag text files and image files from a remote desktop or published application to the client device.

A Horizon administrator can use the Configure clipboard redirection group policy settings to deactivate this feature. For more information, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
