[Solved] Shared Clipboard & folders not mounting

Post by biss »

Hi guys
Hope you can help my - nor the clipboard nor the shared folder are mounting (can't see the shared folder at the virtual machine)

Facts:
Virtual BOX Version 5.2.6-120293
HOST OS: Windows 10 pro 64-bit Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 update for today
GUEST OS: Windows 10 pro 64 bit Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299 update for today

Problem:
I installed for the first time Virtual Box according to a guide. I configured:
Shared Clipboard: bidirectional,
Drag'n'Drop : bidirectional,
Shared folder: read only.
When run the virtual machine, nor the clipboard, nor the shared folder are mounting (can't see the shared folder on the virtual machine).

Any help solving this problem will be appreciated.

Thks for your help :)

I notice no mention of installing the Guest Additions.

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Thks mpack for your quick and helpful response!
I'm still very new in this so forgive me when it looks like that. I'm learning.
Somehow I missed the Guest Additions. After you mention it, I looked for it and install it. Now it seems to be working well. Hope I'll continue to do so with no probs.

Thks again for your help!
