The issue is being tracked at VMware in https://bugzilla.eng.vmware.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2747158 I notice that the "[ESXi]" notation has been added to the Summary line. To clarify, the GUI Drag & Drop and copy-paste functionalities do not apply to the ESXi host platform. These features are only available to Red Hat Linux guests when deployed on VMware hosted platforms - WorkStation, Fusion or Player.

Hi John, Thanks for your reminder! we know the Drag & Drop and copy-paste functionalities only works on WorkStation, Fusion or Player. Our team usually add ESXi in title for filter the bugs, I have change to VMware. I have try to reproduce on our WorkStation 15 with Fedora 34. Reproduce this issue on Fedora workstation 34 Beta with open-vm-tools-11.2.5-6.fc34.x86_64 open-vm-tools-desktop-11.2.5-6.fc34.x86_64, the kernel is kernel-5.11.3-300.fc34.x86_64. After yum update -y the Fedora, then copy & paste a file from host to guest, the File app disappear in guest. Stepping through individual or small sets of upgrades to pin point the combination of upgrades at which the problem is visible.
glib2
gtk3
ibus-gtk3
fuse-overlayfs
File copy/paste and DnD works.
Trying upgrade of nautilus - the Gnome FileManager (Files)

Two distinct manifestations of problems:
- copy of the text file (1.5 KB) - OK appears in Files Downloads window
Problem #1
- copy of 11.6 KB .png file - succeeds but not visible in Downloads windows
- confirmed by "ls ~/Downloads" - file is present
or
- change Files frame ==> Pictures then back to Downloads - .png file shown
or
- attempt a second copy and get dialog that file already exists in the
Download directory - exact same size.
Problem #2
- copy of 8.6 MB .mp4a file fails - Nautilus app abruptly terminates.
Problem begins to happen when the nautilus-40~beta-2 is upgraded to nautilus-40.0-1
Assigned to Rick for initial triage per bz process and age of bug created or assigned to virt-maint without triage. Reproduce this issue on latest RHEL 9 beta with open-vm-tools 11.3.0, still could reproduce this issue, maybe this issue not related to open-vm-tools, I will try when nautilus package update. After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release. Therefore, it is being closed. If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
