VirtualBox and Copy/Paste not working?

[Rapid1898]

Hello,

i am using Oracle VM Box V 6.1.10 on a Win10-OS as Host - and have a MacOs Virutal Machine running under Mojave - but the copy/paste i not possible between Win10 and the virtual Mac system -
In the options common clipboard and drag n drop is set to "bidirectional"

But when i copy someting from Win10 - and then to paste this in die virtual machine mac os - it is not possible - vic a versa also not possible...

Is there someting additonal i have to do so i can copy/paste in both directions between the host and virtual environement?

First we need to clear up one thing:

Win10-OS as Host - and have a MacOs Virutal Machine running under Mojave

This is OK as long as the physical computer is Apple Mac hardware. If it isn't, we can't help: OSX guests on non-Apple hardware

If it is a real Mac, please start the guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Then right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Thanks for the clarification - it is a virtual mac on Win10 - so you can close it.
