I have the same problems but I'm in group vboxusers.

$ id

$ VBoxManage -v

$ VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version:      5.2.8

$ VBoxManage list usbhost

With sudo I see my devices.

Any idea. I don't wan't run my box with root privileges.

1) What's your host?
2) Did you reboot your host?

My os is

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 17.10

After reboot still the same:

VBoxManage list usbhost

I finally decided to split your post from the "[Solved] Virtualbox does not see usb device" thread. I don't really like discussing new issues in threads that have been marked as [Solved].

I didn't see an "lsusb" from the host yet, so, could you post that? And I'm not sure if all the necessary packages for proper host USB support are installed, I wouldn't know what to look for. That's without even taking VirtualBox into account...
