Virtualbox Not Recognizing Shared Folder Or Usb!,

[pflipper]

I'm having a terrible time getting VirtualBox to recognize a shared drive or USB. I already have VirtualBox Extension Pack installed on my host OS.

What I want to do is transfer files between my main OS (Windows 8.1) and the VirtualBox vm I have set up for Windows 7. I've combed through as my internet posts as I can, and my head is swimming and I'm no further along.

Any help for a green Virtualbox user is appreciated

Thanks!

First Prerequisite is to install the guest additions (in the guest) to be able to use shared folders.
