New Qubes user here. Running a Win7 VM for many work tasks. Once I set it up I could copy-to-vm just fine, with a QubesIncoming folder showing up and everything. Then I domain-joined the W7 install and got a new user account, the user account I set up during install was renamed “admin” and I don’t use it unless I have to now.
All of a sudden, copy-to-vm doesn’t work as expected. The file is clearly sent just as normal. But I can’t find it anywhere on the W7 hard drive. What’s weirder is, if I try to send it a 2nd time I get the error message
qfile-agent: Fatal error: File copy: not overwriting existing file. Clean QubesIncoming dir, and retry copy; Last file: test.txt (error type: File exists)
So, my guess is that it’s written somewhere to the W7 disk, but qfile-agent is confused as to where exactly it should end up, and it’s probably written to a dir that Windows for some reason doesn’t even see. Is there anywhere in the settings for the VM where I can change the incoming directory to match my current user profile?
(I’ve tried to re-install the Windows tools as well; didn’t make any difference.)
Thanks!
