hi,
i am not sure, why i cannot copy and paste my icons in the "get info" window in finder, for example a external ssd or external harddiscs anymore - before big sur, it worked smooth and i had plenty of customized icons on the discs.
thanks
it's working for me too on big sur. here's a couple of my external drives that i currently have connected to my iMac 19,1 running big sur. and, no, i did not need to disable SIP.
you might want to try downloading and running the free version of EtreCheck to see if you have software installed that may be the cause of your issue.

did you deactivate SIP?
i can copy the icon, but when i paste it, the paste button is greyed out, also the short cot "command v" is not working
now i tried to copy and paste an icon to a folder on the desktop, it worked!
but i cannot paste it to the harddisc icon, although, i am the owner of all discs (10)

No. And I strongly advise against it.

I did try with a disk, and it is working.
Incidentally, your disks appear to be nearly full. The one with only 10GB out of 6TB is really full. This could cause performance issues.
thanks i will empty it, youre right
i can copy osx icons to the clipboard and paste it to other icons yes!
but these are not appearing in the clipboard: https://eshop.macsales.com/support/custom-drive-icons
Sometimes I can copy an icon from one folder to another, and other times the finder won't do it
I can have 3 folders opened, copy the icon from one folder and it wil paste onto one the remaining folders and not the other.
permissions ar identical on all 3 folders
really irritating
(i used etre check, and everything was ok)
it is working now, as another user showed me the proper way of copy/paste for icons.
before i did: command+c and the clipboard was empty (?)
when i open both infos "command + i" for both drives (the drive i want to copy from and the drive i want to paste to)
and just click the icon from one drive (in the "about this drive" window) and drag this icon to the other window (icon space)
it works 100%!!!!
I don't know why it is not working. I just downloaded one of these icons and pasted onto a disk:
It is working for me just as it used to.
I am running Big Sur 11.4.
What happens when you try to copy a custom icon?
dont know, my clipboard is damaged?
now i found out: i can copy icons with mouse, drag and drop, this works, but only with proper .icns or .ico !
thanks!
finder: copy and paste icon does not work like before bigsur
