<title>Advanced Tab</title>

<p>The following settings are available in the <b outputclass="bold">Advanced</b> tab: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Snapshot Folder:</b> By
default, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> saves snapshot data together with
your other <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> configuration data. See
<xref href="vboxconfigdata.dita">Where <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Stores its Files</xref>. With this setting, you
can specify any other folder for each VM.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Shared Clipboard:</b> You can
select here whether the clipboard of the guest OS should be
shared with that of your host. If you select
<b outputclass="bold">Bidirectional</b>, then
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will always make sure that both clipboards
contain the same data. If you select
<b outputclass="bold">Host to Guest</b> or
<b outputclass="bold">Guest to Host</b>, then
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will only ever copy clipboard data in one
direction.
</p>
<p>Clipboard sharing requires the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
<xref href="guestadditions.dita#guestadditions"/>.</p>
<p>For security reasons, the shared clipboard is disabled by default. This setting can be changed at any time
using the <b outputclass="bold">Shared Clipboard</b> menu item in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu
of the virtual machine. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Drag and Drop:</b> This setting
enables support for drag and drop. Select an object, such as
a file, from the host or guest and directly copy or open it
on the guest or host. Multiple drag and drop modes for a VM
enable restricting of access in either direction.
</p>
<p>For drag and drop to work, the Guest Additions need to be installed on the guest. </p>
<note>
<p>Drag and drop is disabled by default. This setting can be changed at any time using the <b
outputclass="bold">Drag and Drop</b> menu item in the <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu of the
virtual machine. </p>
<p>See <xref href="guestadd-dnd.dita#guestadd-dnd"/>. </p>
