| 7 | <p>As <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can run on a variety of host operating systems and also
|
|---|
| 8 | supports a wide range of guests, certain data formats must be translated after transfer. This is so that the
|
|---|
| 9 | destination operating system, which receives the data, is able to handle them in an appropriate manner. </p>
|

| 10 | <note>
|
|---|
| 11 | <p>When dragging files no data conversion is done in any way. For example, when transferring a file from a Linux
|
|---|
| 12 | guest to a Windows host the Linux-specific line endings are not converted to Windows line endings. </p>
