I've been using VirtualBox for years and always struggled to mount USBs on a Windows guest from a Mac host.

I find it is easier to create a folder on my Mac host and add it as a shared folder (Devices -> Shared Folders -> Shared Folder Settings).

Shared folders can also be used to access removable host drives, i.e. the drive itself can be a shared folder, you don't need to create a special folder and copy the USB drive contents.

Shared folders a great solution, it works perfect.
It solved my problem and I am very grateful for your help.

Thank you very much
