No "copy to clipboard" option

[Andrev01]

Hi there. I noticed, that on newest .291 version there is no "copy to clipboard" option in sharing menu. I mean the system menu when we try to share something from an app to exterior. Please, add this one back

I'll escalate this but make sure to send your feedback to Sony >>> Local support

Hi @Andrev01,

Is this option missing no matter which app you are located in when you choose to share? Are you trying to share text or something else?

[Andrev01]

I did not test this with any other app besides Facebook. Just wanted to share an image to my friend, and I couldn't copy his link. And I remember that on 5.1.1 I had this possibility.

@Andrev01 I checked this on an older Android version and it was not possible to share Facebook photos to the clipboard. It is possible that this is controlled by the Facebook app itself and that the option were removed in an update. Outside the Facebook app you should still have the option to share by copying to the clipboard.

[Andrev01]

Ok, perhaps it's Facebook related. But I still don't have clipboard share option in sharing menu - all apps, casts etc. but no clipboard or copy.

@Andrev01 Have you by any chance disabled the Google Drive app? If yes, then you can try to enable the app again for the clipboard option to become available..

[Andrev01]

Drive is not disabled, and I use it sometimes - but still I don't see clipboard option.

@Andrev01 From what I've found this feature appears to be directly connected to Drive. Disabling Drive in my phone makes this option disappear which is why I asked this earlier.

Can you try clearing data for the Drive app, then restart your phone?

You can clear data for Drive in Settings > Apps > Drive > Storage > Clear data.
