Hi,

1. Drag and Drop transfer rate:
How fast is your connection ?
For example, what is the transfer rate when you copy a file from client to
guest using e.g. scp ?
Is it only for a single host/VM or all hosts/VMs ?

I just tried to drag and drop a big file from my host (Fedora 33) to a VM
running on that host  (Fedora 34 guest) and I'm seeing a much faster
transfer rate.

2. Compress files copied via Drag and Drop:
It's probably good for big files.

3. Transferring a folder via Drag and Drop:
It's not currently possible.
You can transfer a folder via the SPICE WebDAV feature.
