Browsing Datastores in the vSphere Client Inventory
The Datastore Browser allows you to manage the contents of datastores in the vSphere Client inventory.
To use the Datastore Browser, you need to have a role with the Browse Datastore privilege.
You can use the Datastore Browser to:
n
View or search the contents of a datastore.
n
Add a virtual machine or template stored on a datastore to the vSphere Client inventory.
n
Copy or move files from one location to another, including to another datastore.
n
Upload a file or folder from the client computer to a datastore.
n
Download a file from a datastore to the client computer.
n
Delete or rename files on a datastore.
The Datastore Browser operates in a manner similar to file system applications like Windows Explorer. It
supports many common file system operations, including copying, cutting, and pasting files. The Datastore
Browser does not support drag-and-drop operations.
Copying Virtual Machine Disks with the Datastore Browser
You can use the Datastore Browser to copy virtual machine disk files between hosts. Disk files are copied as-
is, without any format conversion. Disks copied from one type of host to a different type of host might require
conversion before they can be used on the new host.
You can download virtual disks from a datastore to local storage, but you cannot upload virtual disks from
local storage to a datastore, because the disk format cannot be verified during the upload.
