Copy/Paste On Windows 10
Copy/Paste On Windows 10
I'm a Ubuntu 15.10 user with the newest version of VirtualBox. I have Windows 10 installed as my guest and I cannot copy and paste a text document password on Windows and paste it in Google Chrome! Any ideas what could be wrong? I have at least three passwords that have the same problem.

Re: Copy/Paste On Windows 10
Copy and paste of files is not supported - only plain text and graphics. And please note the distinction between text, and a file containing text.
If you want to move files between host and guest then the usual solution is a shared folder. You can also see if drag and drop works for you.

Just to add, You have to have the guest additions installed in the guest.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
