Hello!

I recently installed VirtualBox yesterday, and I'm having a couple issues.. I am running a Windoes 7 Guest, on MAC OSX Host.

1) I cannot Drag 7 Drop any files from my Mac to the Windows 7.. Although under the Device/Drag'n'Drop menu I have it set to Bidirectional. As well as the Shared Clipboard set to biderectional.
2) It won't allow me to use my USB Drive on the Windows 7. It shows up in the list but it is grayed out and I can't select it as an option.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

hi again. drag n drop only works with Linux guests right now.

As far as your USB drive you need to create a USB filter for it. it's much easier to create a shared folder that points to the USB drive because you would have to unplug the USB drive from your Mac and plug it back in after you started your guest every time you want access to the drive in the guest. you can drag files into a shared folder. you also don't have to worry whether it's a USB 3.0 drive.
