Before using Barrier I already used ShareMouse there were no problems when copying and pasting between windows and mac, but there was a problem with the program because it had to restart after 30 minutes of use, finally I chose Barrier because it was open source.

When I copy and paste files like I do when using ShareMouse but it doesn't work, the image files I copy just produce plain text according to the filename.
