I am using virutlabox 6.x copy paste is not working between guest and host despite enabling bidirectional shared clipboard and dragndop
on screen general--> advanced
Anyidea why? it used to work before like virutalbox 3.x or 4.x ?
also shared drive folder is not working between windows host and linux guest. Despite adding shared drive it used to mount /media/sf_ovbhsared folder.
I am trying to attach screenshot but its not working

Re: Copy paste not working between guest and host
Shared folders, Copy/Paste & drag-n-drop require Guest Additions installed in the VM's OS.
Shared folders also requires a group 'vboxsf' membership in the Linux VM OS, if you want the shared folder auto-mounted.
Images can and should be attached using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
Note that Guest Additions in Linux require the same prerequisites as Virtualbox on a Linux host, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq and https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux
