Can not drag and drop from guest to host

Post by Hamm »

I have already set the drag and drop as bidirectional, it is no problem drag from host to guest, but it can not drag and drop form guest to host.
The prompting is here:

Drag and drop operation from guest to host failed.

Drag and drop error from guest (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Component: GuestWrap
Interface: IGuest {13a11514-402e-022e-6180-c3944de3f9c8}

Guest os is WinXP
Host os is Fedora 24
VirtualBox: 5.1.6, r110634

Any advice?

  1. Have you tried searching for similar problems?
  2. There is a guide that can help you troubleshoot this: Investigating drag and drop (DnD) problems. Please read it and take the appropriate action.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
