Drag and drop not working: "Error while copying" - "No such file" (Win10 VM -> Ubuntu host)

I can drag a file from the Ubuntu 20.04 host (Files app) and drop it onto the desktop of the Windows 10 VM, but not the other way. When I try, I get this error message:

" Error while copying.

There was an error getting information about "the test file.txt"

Error when getting information for file "/3H8UyO/the test file.txt": No such file or directory "

(I have installed VMWare Tools and restarted not only Win10 but also the VM itself.)

Can anyone help me please.

(PS: Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V works perfectly: When using them in the Win10 VM they operate directly on my Ubuntu CopyQ clipboard manager!)
