# How does clipboard sharing work with Bridge?

Turn on **Share my clipboard with …** for a device, and whatever you copy on one side — text, images, files and folders — turns up in the other side's **Junk Yard** as a new scrap. Click the scrap to copy it when you want it.

Received items are never dropped straight onto your clipboard, so nothing you've copied gets quietly replaced. Clipboard sharing is off until you switch it on, and it's set separately for each device. Passwords are never shared.
