Hi All,

Host:
     Fedora 39
     spice-server-0.15.1-3.fc39.x86_64
     spice-glib-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64
     spice-gtk3-0.42-3.fc39.x86_64
     spice-vdagent-0.22.1-6.fc39.x86_64
     qemu-kvm-8.1.3-5.fc39.x86_64

VM:
     Windows 11 23H2
     Virtio-win-driver-installer 0.1.240
     Virtio-win-guest-tools  0.1.240

I can drag and drop a file from my Linux host to a
qemu-kvm Windows 11 virtual machine but I can not
do it in reverse

What am I doing wrong?

  From Guest to Client, drag-and-drop does not work.
  From Client to Guest, it should. The data of the file is copied
by the client (e.g: spice-gtk) and provided to the guest agent
which creates the file with the contents.

That explains it.  Thank you.

Is there a file sharing option somewhere (other
that Samba)?

In SPICE? We have also webdav channel, it requires spice-webdavd
daemon running in the guest plus the client being build with
phodav option enabled.

Other than that, it depends on what you are using to manage the
VM. QEMU has quite a few options, the most popular nowadays is
virtiofs I think

     https://libvirt.org/kbase/virtiofs.html

Cheers,
Victor

Thank you!
