Install VMWare Tools

From Ubuntu 20.04, need to reinstall from the terminal

sudo apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools
sudo apt-get autoremove open-vm-tools-desktop
sudo apet-get update
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop
reboot

After the reboot copy/paste and drag/drop will work!

NOTE: If you are having troubles with the clipboard working between the host and guest, shut everything down, include the VMWare application and then restart everything.

Ubuntu 22.04

Note: You will need to be OFF the VPN
