Unable to copy and paste files/folders between AVD VM's and local PC

Dear Raja Bodepu,

Based on your description, it’s clear that text copy-paste is functioning, but file transfer via clipboard is not, despite having enabled the relevant Intune configuration policy and confirming that clipboard redirection is enabled in the host pool. Given that your endpoints are Hybrid Azure AD Joined, here are a few considerations and next steps:

1. Clipboard Redirection Scope While clipboard redirection allows text transfer by default, file transfer support may require additional configuration. Please ensure that the policy explicitly allows file types and clipboard transfer direction. You can refer to Microsoft’s guidance on configuring clipboard transfer direction and data types.

2. Session Host Group Policy Settings On the AVD session host, verify that Group Policy settings do not restrict file transfer. Specifically:

Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection

Ensure “Do not allow clipboard redirection” is set to Disabled

3. Limitations with Hybrid Joined Devices Some clipboard features may behave differently on Hybrid Azure AD Joined endpoints, especially if Conditional Access or Endpoint Protection policies are in place. Review any applied security baselines that may restrict clipboard functionality.

4. Known Limitations and Workarounds As of current documentation, clipboard redirection supports text reliably, but file transfer may be limited or blocked depending on session host configuration and client version. As a workaround, consider using mapped drives or OneDrive for Business for file exchange until full clipboard functionality is confirmed.
