How do I set clipboard permissions for different browsers?

Giving your browser permission to access the clipboard makes it easy for you to copy the information that you need to connect to UpdraftCentral. Enabling this feature will save you time; instead of manually copying the generated connection key, you’ll see an icon that will copy it for you in one click. Use this guide to set up your browser correctly. Simply select your browser from the list below, and follow the instructions:

  • Open Chrome browser settings here
  • Select Security & Privacy > Site Settings > Permissions > Clipboard
  • Select Allow
Select 'Allow' in the Clipboard menu
  • Select the lock icon in the address bar
  • Change the Permissions for this site > Clipboard setting to Allow
Select 'Allow' in the Clipboard menu
  • Open Firefox Browser
  • In the address bar, type ‘about:config’ and search
  • A page will appear with the option ‘Accept the Risk and Continue’
Firefox accept risk and continue
  • For the following two Parameters change the preferences as True:
  • dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText
