Can't copy and paste Mac

[Acee2bee]

I STILL cannot copy and paste between my VM and my host machine.

I have followed the suggestions provided by VMWare to resolve this issue

Both are running Mac OS' - the host is running Mojave 10.14, and the VM is running Mac OS 10.14.

I have installed the VMWare Tools, rebooted, tested but didn't fix the issue, then uninstalled, rebooted, installed, rebooted, tested again but didn't fix the issue. I have done this on multiple VMs to no avail.

I have completely uninstalled and removed all preference and library files, then rebooted the host machine and reinstalled the VM. Newly created VMs act the same and do not allow for copy/ paste.

Within the "Isolation" setting, both "enable drag and drop" as well as "enable copy paste" are checked in all VMs.

I attempted multiple times to create a direct support ticket with VMWare, through my.vmware as well as through my workspace one, but it appears impossible to get support for VM Fusion 11.1, there isn't even a support option for VMWare Fusion.

Please help.

MacOS guest supports text copy/past, but not for file. please using drag/drop or shared folder for file sharing between host and guest.

I cannot use any method of copy/paste or drag/drop. My only option is to connect to a shared server for all sharing. That's not what I'm looking for. I want to move content between my VM and my host machine.

As I known, it doesn't support copy&paste files, only text can be copy&paste between guest and host for macOS VM.

But it supports drag&drop.

Could you try to transfer files between the host OS and guest OS by drag&drop?

BTW, to dray&drop file from host to guest, you need to allow the "vmware-tools-daemon" in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility in the macOS10.14 guest.
