How to Copy and Paste from the Remote Desktop Web Client
The web client currently supports copying and pasting text only. Files can't be copied or pasted to and from the web client. Additionally, you can only use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste text. If you wish to use the Copy & Paste functions to move files between your local PC and a Remote App you must use the full Remote Desktop client that is included in Windows operating systems or by using the official Remote Desktop app from the Apple or Google Play stores.
