Recommended Posts

Hi guys! please help me...im getting paranoid how to get work the COPY PASTE clipboard on virtualbox

I'm using win7 x64 as my host.. and windows xp as guest!

I been new user of virtualbox ..I've used vmware for a long time..

i already enable the clipboard share.. bidirectional from host to guest and guest to host

also install guest addition in the virtual machine

still the copy paste not working .. worstly the drag and drop..

that's why i've shared a folder to make transaction with the guest os which is TOO HUSTLE !

please help me guys..

i think a correct system and storage setting is the right way to fix this...

The clipboard features of Virtualbox in windows is limited to text. (you can only copy and paste text, not files)

Copy the file to your USB and open your USB in VIrtual Box to retrieve your file will do the trick.

My Words Might be off Topic but Here are My Thoughts

Virtual-box IS Fast and light But Dumppy Sometimes

while

Vm-ware = Stability + Reliability in Every Single Way :showoff:

By the way, drag and drop files is supported only on linux.
