Copying files from host machine to inside DaDesktop machine

One common ask has been for a way to transfer files from a trainer's own PC directly into a DaDesktop machine. Whether it's slide decks, install ISOs for a nested virtualization setup that lets you run multiple servers and desktops, or simply standard files needed for a training app, it's now possible.

We've rolled out a handy drag-and-drop file transfer feature into our latest Windows 10 and most Linux templates, so you can simply pull files from your own machine into the DaDesktop window.

Drag and drop files

 

For now, you can only move one file at a time, but if you have a bunch, just zip them up and drag the archive across. The transfer breaks files into chunks so even large ones go through smoothly, and it shines on fast fiber connections. Your folder structure inside the archive stays intact.
  

Uploaded Files


In our Linux templates, there isn't a desktop shortcut to the Uploads folder like you see on Windows. Instead, you'll find your files at:

/home/student/uploads-to-dadesktop

To recap:

OS Templates that currently have this feature enabled

OS Templates that do not have this feature enabled (as yet)

Bear in mind, we'll be adding more to this early-access feature soon.
