Description

Hello,

I'm Attempting to copy and paste a large file (~ 15 gig) from the host to the sandboxed machine. It hangs / greys out. No progress is shown. Small files - tens of megs - copy paste fine.

Sandboxed machine spec -Win 11 home, 16g ram, 12 core ryzen, 12g gpu. Vhd of 100g.

Host - Win 11 pro, cpu amd 5600x, 256g samsung 870 ssd, 32g ram, 12g amd 6750xt gpu.

Is there any other way of copying files to the vhd?
Local host or folder drag drop?

Thanks :)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the host-to-sandbox copy with a large file on Windows 11, comparing it with the reported small-file case and checking whether any transfer progress is exposed. Trace the existing copy or drag-and-drop path identified during reproduction; done means large files complete reliably with visible progress, or the supported alternative and limitation are documented.
