Guidelines & Tips from IT: Have You Heard of Copy Paste Using Cloud Clipboard ?

Here's another feature that very few people take advantage of. It's called Cloud Clipboard, and it lets you seamlessly copy and paste text, links, and pictures across multiple devices.

How to Enable the New Clipboard Features

These new features are off by default. 

  • To enable these new clipboard features, head to Settings > System > Clipboard. 
  • To enable the clipboard history, turn “Save Multiple Items” to “On.”

To sync your clipboard data across all your Windows 10 devices- set “Sync Across Devices” to “On.”

How to use Cloud Clipboard?

To access Clipboard, press Win+V anywhere, and the clipboard will pop up. To copy-paste any of the selected text or images, just click Ctrl+C or Right-click >> copy, and it will automatically appear in the editor.

You can scroll through the list, copy anything you want, and paste it by simply double-clicking on it. So far we haven’t seen any limit on how many it can retain, but as of now, there seems to be no limit. Also, if we want to keep clipboard data even after a restart, please follow these steps:

  • Hover over one of the clipboard data until it becomes a little dark.
  • Look for a PIN icon on the right side. Click on it to PIN.
  • All the data which your pin stays with you even after a PC restart.
