I'm struggling to find a way to get files from my Mac to virtual box, I have followed youtube guide changing drag n drop to bidirectional etc. However when I get to the part on windows where I go into windows explorer and look for shared file its not there like on tutorial. I have tried others with no success, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt

What versions of OSX, Windows and VirtualBox are you using?

Hi OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and virtualbox 5.0 with Windows XP.

Exactly which version of VirtualBox? 5.0.0, 5.0.2, 5.0.4 etc. There is no 5.0 version.

Sorry version Version 5.0.10

did you install the guest additions in XP in safe mode? DnD is working for me.

No I didn't, do I just go search on the windows for virtual box guest edition then download it on there?

No, you choose "Insert Guest Additions CD Image…" from the Devices Menu, then run the installer in safe mode.

Just an aside, you may want to at least glance at the VirtualBox user manual.
