Drag and drop and copy and paste doesn't between both physical and VM

Post by Pibakou »

Hello,

I installed VirtualBox on an external HD WD with VM Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit) as guest. My host OS is Windows 10 Professional. But I have a problem: drag and drop and copy and past doesn't work, only the first one when I just installed the VM and not after re-starting. I put bidirectional and Additions as explained in the tutorial. I read this article "How to Fix Oracle VM VirtualBox Copy-Paste functions (Clipboard) in Windows", but the solution doesn't work too ... Somebody should understand what's happen? Thank you for the reply and help.

PB.

If you have questions about an external blog post then you really should ask the author of the blog. I for one am not interested in proof reading external bloggers.

We have our own Wik page on the subject. See here.

There is no forum rule that I'm aware of regarding the subject. That is why I said "I, for one". I.e. a personal statement, not an explanation of official policy.

I could spend the remainder of my career checking and commenting on the errors contained in random blogs over which I have no control, and it would be a meaningless drop in the ocean of misinformation. I prefer to concentrate on ensuring the correctness of the particular blogs and tutorials which I help oversee.
