Can't transfer folders in File Manager

Post by Sugarcrisp »

I'm trying to use the File Manager feature to transfer user files and folders from Host-to-Guest. The files transfer great, but I don't seem to be able to transfer folders. My understanding from what I read is folder transfer should work. I'm using a Arch host and guest setup. Any suggestions to allow for folder transfer
