|  Clipboard  |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/data-loss-prevention.html)  |  Disabling this setting does not disable copy and paste within the session. If copying data into the session is required, choose Paste to remote session only to minimize the potential for data leakage.  | 
|  File transfer  |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/data-loss-prevention.html)  |  Avoid enabling this setting to prevent data leakage.  | 
|  Print to local device  |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/data-loss-prevention.html)  |  If printing is required, use network mapped printers that are controlled and monitored by your organization.  |
