Description of the new feature / enhancement

There should be a GPO setting that disables the clipboard sharing within Mouse Without Borders.

Scenario when this would be used?

Allow Mouse Without Borders inside companies that are worried about data exfiltration.

For detailed configuration it would make sense to have two policies:

  • Disallow clipboard sharing: Block all types of clipboard sharing.
  • Disallow file sharing via clipboard: Block only file sharing using the clipboard. (Not functional if clipboard sharing is disabled.)

Does this need an implementation in the original MWB ui too?

@jaimecbernardo Does this need an implementation in the original MWB ui too?

original legacy MWB UI is mostly there for troubleshooting. As long as code behind disables this on GPO, I don't see a need to change the old UI, as it should essentially do nothing if clicked, right?

If correctly implemented. Yes.
