Microsoft Remote Desktop app now supports copy files between the local and remote PCs

Remote Desktop Connection is a must-have feature for many professional users and developers. Remote Desktop Services can connect directly to a remote computer and operate it directly.

Microsoft releases Microsoft Remote Desktop app mainly through the Microsoft Store. However, this app has not been updated for a long time.

Recently, in the new version of the remote desktop application just released, Microsoft finally brings file copying functionality to everyone, which is an important feature that many users have been waiting for.

Some third-party remote control software provides file transfer functions, and even supports dragging and dropping files directly from the local desktop to the remote desktop for file transfer.

However, the remote desktop connection provided by Microsoft has not provided similar functions before. Finally, the file transfer function has been added to the remote desktop updated by Microsoft.
