Hello!
My PC fully runs Linux Mint and today I installed Virtualbox from official website, the Extension Pack from there.
I installed in a virtual machine Windows 7 x64, and after installing it I installed the Virtual Guest Addition from ”Machine - Insert Guest Additions CD Image” and followed the installer.
Even if the clipboard and the drag n drop are set to bidirectional, the wouldnt work. I get this error.
(SOLVED) No bidirectional clipboard or drag n drop

Re: No bidirectional clipboard or drag n drop
Correction: the clipboard works, and it is bidirectional.
Only the drag n drop is not working.

Re: No bidirectional clipboard or drag n drop
I discovered that drag n drop works only in-to the shared folders...
I was trying to drag a file from Linux Desktop (host) to Windows desktop (guest) or viceversa and it wasnt working.
But trying to do that in the shared folder WORKS like a charm.
I guess I had it wrong... or is it a problem that drag n drop does not work directly in-to desktops?

Re: No bidirectional clipboard or drag n drop
I have the same problem: drag and drop will not work.
I am interested in whatever the " clip board" is. Where can I get that?
