    I use multiple hardware systems with multiple VMs on them. It would be extremely useful to me for a tool that would allow me to login across all machines and share cut/paste information. Now, here's the caveat - I am not creating or logging in to a Microsoft account to allow me to do this. The MS ecosystem is such a disaster at this point, I don't want to bother. I'll throw apple under the same bus. I'll keep searching. I don't know, maybe there is a website out there that does something like this?

          Windows Server does that even between different users... We found that out on the hard way, when working remote in our indian plant.

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            Interesting. I know I can do it if I have all of my "machines" logged in. I am not interested in binding my systems to Microsoft period. I get enough login requests from them as it is.

              I don't do this very often, but one tool I have running anyway on multiple desktops is Discord, and I have used it to share items between desktops. Just that there's an annoying bar on the Windows 7 desktops these days urging me to upgrade to Windows 10 or newer. Another tool that works for me is Dropbox. These are really both overkill for just sharing across my LAN, but the only other thing would be to write my own app to do this, then I wouldn't have to worry about content, size, and volume restrictions.
