So far, I must say I like it ! Many years ago, Qemu was a pain : it is a miracle, the improvement is unbelievable ! My warmest congratulations to everybody who has worked so hard ! At work, I am administering VSphere and VMware Workstation. So far, I am not digging into QEMU/KVM internals, rather discovering it as an end-user (just to try and see if I can advertise it at work, for my non-IT users) I imported successfully an Ubuntu 16.04 vm from VB to QEMU/KVM, and I can drag-and-drop a file from the host to the VM : amazing ! I imported successfully my Windows 7 guest and my Windows 10 guest (some filesystem issues with Windows 7 which I fixed, none with Windows 10), installed the spice guest tools in both from here : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe">https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe</a> and I can resize the display nicely. I am having an issue with the shared folders, which "do not work" : what I did : - in virt-manager, I enabled the channel org.spice-space.webdav.0 - in the guest, I installed space-webdavd from here : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-webdavd/">https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-webdavd/</a> - I read Spice User Manual <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html">https://www.spice-space.org/spice-user-manual.html</a> Now : - from this manual, I do not see where I can find this : "Use the remote-viewer "File" → "Preferences" menu to enable it" - I do not find which command provides the option --spice-share-dir : man -K spice-share-dir does not yield any result, whereas man -K spice does; and I guess I installed almost every (?) available virt* and qemu* package from the Ubuntu repository; - in Windows (7 and 10) with an elevated cmd.exe : this bad thing happens : <blockquote>C:\WINDOWS\system32>"c:\Program Files\SPICE webdavd\map-drive.bat" C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use * <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost:9843/">http://localhost:9843/</a> System error 67 has occurred.

Is this feature publicly available, or is it still in development, or stalled, or dropped ?
