Copy2Deck 1.3.0 is out — Windows file manager for Steam Deck

I’ve released Copy2Deck 1.3.0, a major update to my free Windows file manager for Steam Deck.

Copy2Deck connects directly to your Steam Deck over your local network using SSH/SFTP. It lets you manage files, game folders, storage, backups, and now your Non-Steam library without manually editing Steam configuration files.

The big addition in 1.3.0 is Non-Steam game management.

You can now:

  • Automatically discover Non-Steam games already added to Gaming Mode
  • View shortcuts across multiple Steam user profiles
  • Search your Non-Steam library
  • Open a game’s location directly in Deck Manager
  • Right-click a file on the Deck and choose Add to Steam
  • Choose the name shown in your Steam library
  • Remove a shortcut from Steam without deleting the game or its files
  • Refresh the list automatically whenever Copy2Deck connects

To make this safer, Copy2Deck:

  • Closes Steam before modifying its shortcut library
  • Creates a timestamped backup of shortcuts.vdf
  • Prevents duplicate shortcuts
  • Uses the most recently active Steam user when adding a game
  • Leaves the actual executable, game folder, saves, and other files untouched when removing a shortcut

For Windows games, you may still need to select a Proton compatibility tool from the shortcut’s Steam properties.

Copy2Deck also includes:

  • Dual-pane file management for This PC and Steam Deck
  • Bidirectional drag and drop
  • Folder-aware drops
  • Right-click file operations
  • Steam and Windows Quick Locations
  • Connection Doctor
  • Permission-safe Steam game discovery
  • Game install, compatdata, shader cache, and Workshop shortcuts
  • Storage analysis
  • Versioned backups
  • Faster multi-file transfers
  • SSH keepalives
  • Automatic Steam Deck sleep prevention during transfers
  • Installer and portable versions

Your files transfer directly between your PC and Steam Deck. Copy2Deck does not require an account, subscription, or cloud storage.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the new Non-Steam Games workflow. If you test it, please let me know how it behaves with Windows games, launch scripts, EmuDeck shortcuts, multiple Steam accounts, and games stored on SD cards.

Copy2Deck 1.2.2 — a free Windows file manager designed specifically for Steam Deck

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on Copy2Deck, a free Windows application for managing files on a Steam Deck over your local network.

The goal is to make common file-management tasks easier without constantly switching to Desktop Mode, opening a terminal, or manually navigating Linux paths.

https://preview.redd.it/mksdfb4e21jh1.png?width=1480&format=png&auto=webp&s=9fa31d92b6c99bc244fc9bb7d0bd16934b6fffed

The latest release, version 1.2.2, includes:

  • A dual-pane Deck Manager with This PC on the left and Steam Deck on the right
  • Drag-and-drop transfers in both directions
  • Folder-aware dropping: drop onto a folder to transfer inside it
  • Right-click actions for opening, renaming, deleting, creating folders, and refreshing
  • Quick Locations for common Windows folders, Steam paths, game data, shader caches, compatdata, EmuDeck, and mounted storage
  • Connection Doctor for troubleshooting hostname, SSH, authentication, SFTP, permissions, and write-access issues
  • Steam Games discovery with shortcuts to install folders, compatdata, shader cache, Workshop content, and related locations
  • Permission-safe Steam Games scanning that skips inaccessible libraries or mounted storage instead of failing the entire scan
  • Saved connection details protected by Windows
  • Versioned backup profiles with preview, retention, restore, and include/exclude filters
  • Storage analysis and largest-folder discovery
  • High-speed transfers for larger multi-file jobs
  • SSH keepalives for long transfers
  • Automatic Steam Deck sleep prevention while transfers are active
  • Installer and portable versions

Copy2Deck connects directly between your Windows PC and Steam Deck using SSH/SFTP. Files are not uploaded to a cloud service, and no account or subscription is required.

Website and downloads:
https://copy2deck.com

Documentation:
https://copy2deck.com/docs

I’ve made several changes based on feedback from earlier discussions, especially around the dual-pane workflow, drag-and-drop behavior, connection troubleshooting, Steam library permissions, and long-running transfers.

I’d really appreciate feedback from Steam Deck users. I’m especially interested in:

  • Which file-management tasks are still unnecessarily difficult
  • Whether the dual-pane layout feels natural
  • How well it works with SD cards, external storage, and EmuDeck
  • Any permission or connection problems on different Steam Deck setups
  • Features that would make this more useful than a general SSH/SFTP client

Copy2Deck is currently available for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with Valve.

Copy2Deck 1.2.0 update — dual-pane Steam Deck file manager, bidirectional drag and drop, and Connection Doctor

Hey everyone,

I posted Copy2Deck here recently and received a lot of useful feedback—especially around drag-and-drop, the interface feeling more complicated than it needed to be, connection troubleshooting, and trust around downloading an unsigned application.

I took that feedback seriously and have released Copy2Deck 1.2.0.

https://preview.redd.it/7wk4qunze6ih1.png?width=1480&format=png&auto=webp&s=3491e2606894cdbc14e93fe25b2074f482d59626

The biggest change is a redesigned Deck Manager. It is now the main screen and uses a familiar dual-pane layout:

  • This PC on the left
  • Steam Deck on the right
  • Quick locations for both devices
  • Drag files and folders in either direction
  • Select and drag multiple items
  • Drop directly onto a folder to transfer into it
  • Drop onto empty space to use the currently open directory
  • Right-click actions for open, rename, delete, new folder, and refresh
  • Storage tools for calculating sizes, finding large folders, and reviewing Deck storage

Local Windows deletions now go to the Recycle Bin. Steam Deck deletions remain permanent and require confirmation.

I also added Connection Doctor. If Copy2Deck cannot connect, it checks:

  • Hostname resolution
  • SSH port 22
  • Username and password authentication
  • SFTP startup
  • Home-folder access
  • Write permission

It then gives a plain-language result instead of leaving users with only a technical SSH exception.

Other features available now include:

  • Securely saved connection details using Windows encryption
  • Quick Copy for guided one-file or one-folder transfers
  • Existing-file conflict choices
  • Transfer verification
  • Adaptive parallel transfers for larger jobs
  • Steam game discovery
  • Quick access to compatdata, shader cache, Workshop, screenshots, and game folders
  • Versioned backup profiles for saves, mods, and configuration folders
  • Installer and portable versions

Copy2Deck is still completely free. Files move directly between your Windows PC and Steam Deck over your local network—there is no account, cloud storage, telemetry service, or subscription.

A few transparent notes:

  • It currently requires Windows 10 or 11.
  • SSH must be enabled once from Steam Deck Desktop Mode.
  • The application is not code-signed yet, so Windows may display a SmartScreen warning.
  • Every release includes SHA-256 checksums so downloads can be verified.

Thanks again to everyone who gave constructive feedback. I would especially appreciate feedback on the new dual-pane workflow, drag-and-drop behavior, and anything that still feels less convenient than other file managers.

I made Copy2Deck – a 100% free Windows file manager for the Steam Deck

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Copy2Deck. It's a 100% free Windows app I built to make managing files on the Steam Deck from a PC much easier.

One thing that always bothered me with the Steam Deck was how often I had to switch over to Desktop Mode just to move files around, find a game's save folder, copy over mods, etc.

That's what led me to build Copy2Deck.

After a one-time setup on your Deck, you can connect to it over your local network and:

• Transfer files and entire folders between your PC and Steam Deck
• Browse and manage your Deck's files directly from Windows
• See what's taking up space on your Deck
• Select an installed game and quickly jump to its game files, saves, Proton prefix, shader cache, or Workshop content
• Back up important folders like saves/mods and restore older backups
• Download files from your Deck back to your PC

Under the hood, Copy2Deck uses SSH for the connection and file transfers between your PC and Steam Deck. The app handles the connection for you after the initial setup, so you don't have to manually use SSH every time you want to transfer something.

The app is completely free — no subscription, no account, no cloud storage, and no paid features. Files are transferred directly between your PC and Steam Deck.

I tried to keep the UI straightforward, especially for people who aren't very familiar with navigating Linux folders.

You can check it out here:

https://copy2deck.com/

There is both an installer and a portable version available.

This is still a new project, and I'd really love for people in the Steam Deck community to try it out. If you run into bugs, issues, weird behavior, or have ideas for features or improvements, please let me know.

The more feedback I get from people actually using it, the more I can improve Copy2Deck and make it useful for the community.

Hope some of you give it a try, and I'd love to hear what you think!

Hey All, just got a car delivered and tire was damaged. I'm thinking I should be okay to drive on this since its not that deep. Anyone have any experience with a minor tear like this?
