I am not sure why there is so little clear information in the net about the issue:
I just want to copy (drag and drop) files between the Ubuntu 16.04 host and the Windows 7 client.
I expected this as a basic feature. But it does not work.

This is not a 'basic feature', and I don't know what hypervisors provide that. When using KVM withspiceandQXLand have the drivers and vd-agent installed, you are able to copy/paste the clipboard and to have shared folders (see spice-space.org/features.html)

Work around #1
Create a samba share on the host.
Since client and host should be able to communicate via a virtual network interface - automatically - this is a very easy workaround.

Download and install spice tool (
spice-guest-tools-latest.exe) on your guest OS (Windows 7/8/10).Restart or shut down your guest OS (Windows 7/8/10).
