With Windows 10 Insiders Preview Build 17666, Microsoft added some cloud functionality to Windows 10 Clipboard. You can now copy some content on one device and access the same content from another cloud connected device. Your Windows clipboard will roam across your devices using the same technology which powers Timeline and Sets. Using it, you can not only copy-paste content, but can also pin a item that you find yourself using regularly.
A new settings page has been introduced to control the user experience. You can find this page under: Settings | System | Clipboard. From there (once you sign-in with your linked account), you can select whether to sync your keyboard or clear your clipboard content. When you hit Win + V (instead of Ctrl + V), you will be able to paste from the clipboard history and pin the items you find yourself pasting more than once.
This new build also enables you to apply Dark Theme to your File Explorer. To set this, go to Settings | Personalization | Colors and set the Choose your default app mode to Dark. When you apply this, it will also gets applied to Common File Dialogs (New, Open and Save dialogs).
