You can copy and paste text between your local device and your Paperspace machine on all platforms.
In the App on a Windows Virtual Machine:
When using the Paperspace native app: You can copy and paste just like you normally would, no extra steps necessary.
In a Linux Machine or in the Browser:
If you are accessing Paperspace from your web browser, this requires syncing your local computer's clipboard with your VM, so that your VM knows that you want to paste to it.
Instructions:
- Copy the text you would like to transfer, either on your local machine or within your Paperspace machine
- Click the small circle button in the Paperspace interface and then click "Sync Clipboard"
- Follow the instructions onscreen to paste. On a PC, you'll enter CTL+V to paste. On a Mac, you'll first do CMD+V to sync and then CTL+V to paste into your PC.
