Copy/Paste with Mac Guest

Post by misty »

I could not find any info on how to enable this. Enabling bidirectional copy/paste from the menubar and rebooting had no effect. I'm using Mac guest and host with VirtualBox 5.

Bidirectional copy/paste requires the guest additions. There are no guest additions for an OSX guest.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
