When I click copy on my machine(host) and move into the window on my Virtual Box(Window 7) I can't seem to paste. I don't even see any right click option. I have when to setting and set both the General -> Settings -> Advanced Tab: Shared Clipboard and Drag'n'Drop to Bidirectional. Is there something else to look at for this to work? Thanks

Paste what? You can only paste text or pictures, and only if the GAs are installed and the feature is enabled in the VM settings. You can't paste files.

Remember to think of the VM as a separate PC, not just another app running on your host. It's running an independant operating system and so is not aware of the clipboard on your host OS.

I am sorry for not being more clear, paste text. I also would like to be able to use Drag'n'Drop. I don't know what you mean by GAs? Thanks

GAs = Guest Additions. Many integration features will not work without this, and you can read all about them in the user manual.

Thanks, after installing GAs copy and paste works. I still have no access to Drag'n'Drop, should something in setting up GAs have been paid attention to for this to work?

Drag'n'drop only works from host to Linux guest at the moment, as stated in the user manual.

Thank a lot.
