[Access] Browser-based RDP file transfer controls

[asamborski]

Summary

Documents file transfer controls for browser-based RDP (beta), available on all Zero Trust plans. File transfer lets users upload and download files between their local machine and a remote Windows session.

• Expanded the "Clipboard controls" section in rdp-browser.mdx into a broader Connection settings section covering both text controls and file controls (beta).
• Added Transfer files subsection with upload (drag-and-drop + settings gear) and download (copy in remote session, then download/zip/print PDF) instructions.
• Updated API and Terraform examples to show "file" as a format value alongside "text" in connection_rules.rdp.
• Updated known limitations: removed "no file transfers" and "no local printing" entries, replaced with beta availability note and PDF-only printing note.
• Updated connection context table in policies/index.mdx to include file transfer controls.
• Added changelog entry for 2026-07-02 with three screenshots (policy UI, clipboard side panel, download/print view).

Two placeholders remain for limits pending engineering confirmation: <MAX_FILE_SIZE> and <MAX_FILES_PER_UPLOAD>.

Issue

changelog/access/2026-07-02-rdp-file-transfer-beta.mdx line 22

Inconsistent option label — The option is labeled **Disable copying/pasting**, but the surrounding list describes file-transfer upload/download directions. Its own description then says it disables file transfers, not copying/pasting, which contradicts the label. Fix: Change the option label to match the file-transfer context, for example **Disabled** or **Disable file transfers**, or clarify if this single option disables both clipboard and file transfers.

File	Issue
cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/use-cases/rdp/rdp-browser.mdx line 192	Bulleted lists with fewer than three items should be prose — Two-item bullet list introduces Text controls and File controls. Fix: Convert the two items into one or two sentences instead of bullets.
cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/use-cases/rdp/rdp-browser.mdx line 199	Bulleted lists with fewer than three items should be prose — Two-item bullet list describes default behavior for new and existing policies. Fix: Rewrite the new-policy and existing-application behavior as prose.
cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/use-cases/rdp/rdp-browser.mdx line 304	Bulleted lists with fewer than three items should be prose — Two-item bullet list lists Drag and drop and Control panel upload methods. Fix: Describe the two methods in a sentence or split into a numbered procedure.

Commands

Only codeowners can run commands. Post a comment with the command to trigger it.

Command	Description
/review	Runs a review now. Incremental if a prior review exists, full if not.
/full-review	Re-reviews the entire PR diff from scratch, ignoring incremental history. Useful after a rebase, when you want a fresh review, or if the bot gets out of sync and reports issues that no longer exist.
/fan-out-review	Forces a full review using the per-file fan-out mode regardless of diff size. Each file is reviewed in its own session for maximum per-file detail. ⚠️ This may take a very long time on large PRs and may fail or time out — use only when you want the most thorough review and are willing to wait.
/holistic-review	Forces a full review using the holistic mode regardless of diff size. The entire diff is reviewed in one pass, enabling cross-file reasoning. Faster and more reliable on large PRs.
/ignore-review-limit	Permanently lifts the 2-review automatic limit for this PR. Future pushes will trigger reviews as normal.
