I use Google Remote Desktop using the Chrome web application to connect to a remote server.

Problem: I am unable to copy and paste host to remote server. How to enable it?

Screenshots illustrating sunil shakya's answer:

Step 1: Open Keyboard Controls menu on Google Remote Desktop

Step 2: Enable clipboard synchronization:

On the right side of Chrome Remote Desktop, the small blue arrow has Keyboard controls and its submenu has the option to enable the clipboard.

After latest update (Dec 2021) of Chrome Remote Desktop, Ctrl-C Ctrl-V no longer works and Copy/Paste doesn't work on Windows 10. There is no apparent way to activate the clipboard.

Took me a while to check how to copy-paste from Windows into a Mac via Google Remote Desktop.

  • Open the Session options via the arrow, select Configure key mappings and map:

Chrome Remote Desktop can do it all. It will do the copy/paste keyboard shortcuts via the usual CTRL-C CTRL V.

And will do file upload/download via the links on the left panel:

if the "begin" is disappeared, go to

chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fremotedesktop.google.com

set clipboard to allow
