    This only deals with the new Ubuntu 22.04 VM, and I make a copy of a file in the VM, I cannot drag it with the mouse to the host's Finder window, or vice versa. The file drag-and-dropping works fine with Ubuntu 20.04 VM and the Mac host. Please note that I'm using a 2019 Mac Book Pro with Intel CPU, and refer to report ID 398032237 for technical settings.

    Please see attached --- it does not seem to have an "advanced" option here by going through the categories on the left bar. Is it in another place?

    Please note that it works on another Ubuntu 20.04 VM to copy/paste files between it and the Mac host.
    This Ubuntu 22.04 VM was fine when it was in v20.04 release, then hit this copy/paste problem after the upgrade.

    Has this been resolved? I am having the same problem with an Ubuntu 22.04 VM on a 2019 Macbook Pro with an Intel processor.
