Re: USB captured all USB flash device
You can forget about sharing the USB device. USB devices can *not* be shared. It's either your host *or* your guest, never both.Hemdan wrote:i can't use intent USB in my Host and VM in same time
What kind of a USB device is that? A telecom USB? Like a 3G or a 4G stick for internet?
Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Re: USB captured all USB flash device
USB connections are one to one. However USB flash drives can be accessed as shared folders, just like other kinds of host drive. That's the only way that the device can be used by the host and one or more VMs at the same time.
In fact this is precisely what shared folders are for.
