<title>Supported Formats</title>
<body>
<p>As <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can run on a variety of host operating systems and also
supports a wide range of guests, certain data formats must be translated after transfer. This is so that the
destination operating system, which receives the data, is able to handle them in an appropriate manner. </p>
<note>
<p>When dragging files no data conversion is done in any way. For example, when transferring a file from a Linux
guest to a Windows host the Linux-specific line endings are not converted to Windows line endings. </p>
</note>
<p>The following formats are handled by the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> drag and drop
service: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Plain text:</b> From
applications such as text editors, internet browsers and
terminal windows.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Files:</b> From file managers
such as Windows Explorer, Nautilus, and Finder.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Directories:</b> For
directories, the same formats apply as for files.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
