One of the small annoyances of remote work is getting content across: passwords, commands, snippets. Clipboard sync gives both sides a shared clipboard — copy here, paste there.
How clipboard sync works
Once a session is open, text copied on either end is available on the other. Image and file support depends on platform and edition.
- Two-way text sync, copy and paste immediately
- Commands, passwords and snippets travel cleanly
- Sync can be disabled to protect sensitive data
- Image clipboard on some platforms
Keyboard and input methods
Layout and input method state change what keys do. Caps Lock and Num Lock can be synchronised; for Chinese input, use the same input method on both ends.
- Caps Lock and Num Lock state sync
- Use the same input method on both ends
- Send system combos such as Ctrl+Alt+Del
- Exclusive full-screen input for games
Handling sensitive data
Clipboards carry passwords. On devices you do not fully trust, disable clipboard sync before the session and clear the clipboard afterwards.
- Turn off sync for untrusted scenarios
- Clear the clipboard after pasting passwords
- Enterprises can disable the feature globally
- Third-party clipboard tools may keep history
FAQ
Clipboard is not syncing. What now?
Check that sync is enabled in the session; OS restrictions sometimes block it, so reconnect the session or restart the client.
Can I sync files through the clipboard?
Use file transfer for files. Clipboard sync targets text, where it is more stable and predictable.
