| 8 | The following settings are available in the
|
|---|
| 9 | <b outputclass="bold">Advanced</b> tab:
|
|---|
| 10 | </p>
|
|---|
| 11 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 12 | <li>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p><b outputclass="bold">Snapshot Folder:</b> By
|
|---|
| 14 | default, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> saves snapshot data together with
|
|---|
| 15 | your other <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> configuration data. See
|
|---|
| 16 | <xref href="vboxconfigdata.dita">Where <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Stores its Files</xref>. With this setting, you
|
|---|
| 17 | can specify any other folder for each VM.
|
|---|
| 18 | </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | </li>
|
|---|
| 20 | <li>
|
|---|
| 21 | <p><b outputclass="bold">Shared Clipboard:</b> You can
|
|---|
| 22 | select here whether the clipboard of the guest OS should be
|
|---|
| 23 | shared with that of your host. If you select
|
|---|
| 24 | <b outputclass="bold">Bidirectional</b>, then
|
|---|
| 25 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will always make sure that both clipboards
|
|---|
| 26 | contain the same data. If you select
|
|---|
| 27 | <b outputclass="bold">Host to Guest</b> or
|
|---|
| 28 | <b outputclass="bold">Guest to Host</b>, then
|
|---|
| 29 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will only ever copy clipboard data in one
|
|---|
| 30 | direction.
|
|---|
| 31 | </p>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | Clipboard sharing requires that the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Guest
|
|---|
| 34 | Additions be installed. In such a case, this setting has no
|
|---|
| 35 | effect. See <xref href="guestadditions.dita#guestadditions"/>.
|
|---|
| 36 | </p>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | For security reasons, the shared clipboard is disabled by
|
|---|
| 39 | default. This setting can be changed at any time using the
|
|---|
| 40 | <b outputclass="bold">Shared Clipboard</b> menu item
|
|---|
| 41 | in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu of the
|
|---|
| 42 | virtual machine.
|
|---|
| 43 | </p>
|
|---|
| 44 | </li>
|
|---|
| 45 | <li>
|
|---|
| 46 | <p><b outputclass="bold">Drag and Drop:</b> This setting
|
|---|
| 47 | enables support for drag and drop. Select an object, such as
|
|---|
| 48 | a file, from the host or guest and directly copy or open it
|
|---|
| 49 | on the guest or host. Multiple drag and drop modes for a VM
|
|---|
| 50 | enable restricting of access in either direction.
|
|---|
| 51 | </p>
|
|---|
| 52 | <p>
|
|---|
| 53 | For drag and drop to work the Guest Additions need to be
|
|---|
| 54 | installed on the guest.
|
|---|
| 55 | </p>
|

| 56 | <note>
|

|
|---|
| 58 | Drag and drop is disabled by default. This setting can be
|
|---|
| 59 | changed at any time using the <b outputclass="bold">Drag
|
|---|
| 60 | and Drop</b> menu item in the
