VirtualBox Sharing VDI
VirtualBox Sharing VDI
If I create a VirtualBox VDI file on an USB, can I use it on different platform, such Mac, PC, or Linux?

In theory, yes. But why not simply use Shared Folders or the USB itself directly?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I think he means "can I have a physically-portable OS", not just the data. And yes, it works fine (for Windows and Linux, at least) - just make sure the USB is formatted to something that all the hosts can read and write (i.e. "don't use extN for it").
