Hi All,
Host: Fedora 39 $ rpm -qa spice* spice-server-0.15.1-3.fc39.x86_64 spice-glib-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64 spice-gtk3-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.22.1-6.fc39.x86_64
VM: Windows 11 23H2 Virtio-win-driver-installer 0.1.240 Virtio-win-guest-tools 0.1.240
I can drag and drop a file from my Linux host to a qemu-kvm Windows 11 virtual machine but I can not do it in reverse
What am I doing wrong, this time?

The word back from Spice Dev is:
From Guest to Client, drag-and-drop does not work. From Client to Guest, it should. The data of the file is copied by the client (e.g: spice-gtk) and provided to the guest agent which creates the file with the contents.
And is you want directory sharing, use virtiofs https://libvirt.org/kbase/virtiofs.html
I am working on getting virtiofs going. Be nice to get away from always having to use Samba.
