8 As <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can run on a variety of host operating systems
9 and also supports a wide range of guests, certain data formats
10 must be translated after transfer. This is so that the
11 destination operating system, which receives the data, is able
12 to handle them in an appropriate manner.

14 <note>
15 <p>
16 When dragging files no data conversion is done in any way. For
17 example, when transferring a file from a Linux guest to a
18 Windows host the Linux-specific line endings are not converted
19 to Windows line endings.
