This depends on the browser:

Chrome browser supports bidirectional copying and pasting between RDP sessions and your local machine. Firefox browser supports copying from an RDP session and pasting to your local machine

  • This explained procedure do not permit to copy to/from RDP session and the user PC but only for copy/paste inside the RDP session. It is pretty important to have an easy way to copy/paste files from RDP session to/from user PC. The unique way I see for now is to use S3 Buckets as a intermediary to copy/paste files, however this method is more messy than a simple copy/paste.
