I have found another way to get the files transferred to a Win10 HVM. 1) Connect the device to another VM. 2) Right-click on the folder or file that shall be copied to the Win10 HVM. 3) Choose "Copy To Other AppVM...". 4) In the window that turns up: Write the name of the Win10 HVM. 5) Click on "OK". 6) Open the Windows file manager in the Win10 HVM that the files are copied to, and go to the Documents folder. Here is a new folder labeled "qubes-incomming". In this folder you'll find all the copied files. Quite easy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
