Can I copy and paste between two remote desktops?

Yes. Copy on remote computer A, then while viewing remote computer B open Clipboard pool and press Paste. Text and pictures go onto B's clipboard; a copied file is moved straight from A to B into its Downloads folder. It works across any number of open sessions.

Does the universal clipboard work in the apps?

Yes: in the web app, the Windows, macOS and Linux app, and the iPhone, iPad and Android app.

Does a copy on the remote computer reach my own clipboard?

Yes. With automatic sync on, text copied on the remote computer lands on your local clipboard and the other way round.

Are big files a problem?

No. Files switch to Silux's transfer protocol with a progress bar instead of the clipboard, so large files move reliably between Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Universal Clipboard

Copy and paste text, images or files between any machines — and the platform automatically picks the right path: the clipboard for text and images, a secure file transfer (with a progress bar) for files.

Start free Get the apps

Text & images — instant, automatic

Copy text or an image on any machine and paste on any other. A copy on a remote host even lands in your local clipboard automatically — no button, no extra step. Works your‑computer↔remote and remote↔remote.

Files — it just works

Copy a file and paste it anywhere. Instead of fighting each operating system's clipboard file formats, Silux automatically runs a secure file transfer behind the scenes — with a live progress bar — so large files move reliably between Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

The platform decides

You don't choose a mode. Silux detects what you copied: text and images go over the clipboard; files switch to the transfer protocol with progress. One gesture — copy, then paste — and the right path is chosen for you.

No limits, every direction

Your computer → remote, remote → your computer, and remote → remote all work the same way. Encrypted in transit, tenant‑isolated, and available on the web app, the mobile apps and the native clients.

How it decides

Copy anything on any device.
Silux checks the content: text or image → it rides the encrypted clipboard channel and appears on the other machine instantly.
File → Silux switches to its secure transfer protocol automatically and streams the bytes between machines with a live progress bar.
Paste — it lands where you expect, every direction, with no cross‑OS limitations.

Remote → remote, in four steps

Copy on the first remote computer (Ctrl+C / ⌘C).
Open a session with the second remote computer — another tab, window or the app.
Open Clipboard pool and press Paste next to what you copied.
Paste with Ctrl+V / ⌘V. Files arrive in the computer's Downloads folder.
