If I have a filename like test-####.txt it still fails in the same manner.

1 year ago We are working on it. Kind of root cause the issue. Just to summarise it's because clipboard copy paste scenario should treat "#" as a special character and it needs to be translated to "%23". So after copying such files from Windows host, If you have check clipboard on Ubuntu it should have something like below and that's not happening right now.
For test#.txt it should be ubuntu20_04lts@ubuntu20ltsvm:~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts$ xsel -b x-special/nautilus-clipboard copy file:///home/ubuntu20_04lts/Desktop/test%23.txt
for file test##.txt
ubuntu20_04lts@ubuntu20ltsvm:~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts$ xsel -b x-special/nautilus-clipboard copy file:///home/ubuntu20_04lts/Desktop/test%23%23.txt
But right now that's not that case which is why this bug exists.

1 year ago I have given this a fresh test with Ubuntu 20.04 and find the following. Drag and drop files with # in the name succeed. Both directions from host to guest and guest to host. File copy and paste work with a # in the name, and the file is >= 4MB selecting skips all errors. File copy and paste fails if the file contains a # and is < 4MB. This is due to an optimization for smaller files that is not correct.
I will update our file copy and paste developers and hopefully resolve this case. Addendum: if the file with a # in the name is contained within a folder, copy and paste of the folder instead will successfully paste the folder and the file with the # character.

4 months ago In fact，the most recently copied or dragged files can be found in the latest directory created in ~/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop . Maybe developers fix the drag of "drop or copy" by monitoring this latest file? It just requires moving the files from ~/.cache/vmware/drag_and_drop/xxxx/ to the target location？
I have also found that if the copied file is relatively small, it can be copied normally. For example, files smaller than 4MB can be copied successfully, but larger files cannot be copied.

Describe the bug
Host: Windows 10 Guest: Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit Desktop
Attempting to ctrl+c and ctrl+v (or right click Paste) from the host to the guest results in an error:
Clicking on Retry multiple times does nothing. Clicking on Skip causes the file to not go into the destination folder on the guest.
This appears to only happen if the host filename has # characters in it. If I rename the file to not have that character then it works as expected.
Workaround 2: Use the mouse to drag and drop the file and it copies without error.
The issue occurs when I use the ctrl+c (in host) and then ctrl+v (in guest) with files names like test##.docx
While the error message is displayed if I do find /home/rbeede/.cache/vmware/drag_anddrop/ then I see the entire file like W4xBSN/test#.docx, but it never goes to the desired destination.
Reproduction steps
Expected behavior
The file, with the name test##.docx, should have appeared in the target directory on the guest.
