Combination of switching from USB3 to USB2 ports, coupled with the VBox parameterizing according to it + the reference @socratis of by guest OS unsupported USB3 helped here.

dragynman escribio:

yo tenía el mismo error. Y tuve que hacer una serie de cosas. Cierre la máquina virtual y agregue un filtro usb3. Cuando volví a arrancar en Windows 7, todavía me daba el mensaje El controlador del dispositivo no estaba instalado. así que fui a Intel e instalé este controlador usb3 roothub- Intel (R) _USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver. Ahora todos mis dispositivos USB funcionan.

This solution (and many more tips) are already covered in the USB basics and troubleshooting FAQ.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

WOW this saved me the day

- powered off the VM
- went to USB tab and selected USB 3.0 instead of USB 2.0
- also used the filters to capture my Kingston USB pendrive

when I powered on the Mac OS X High Sierra , the pendrive icon was on the desktop

Also for you to know
- Used latest VirtualBox 7.0.10
- Installed successfully the Guest Additions (eventually during the install it can stop complaining for ORacle to be allowed, go to macOS System Preferences | Security & Privacy | General. In the bottom, there will be a question to allow permissions for Oracle. Allow it.)
