"Drag and Drop" was introduced with the guest additions in Virtual Box 5.0. with some limitations:
In addition to that only drag & drop of simple text, or files and directories of the file manager not running with administrative permissions is supported.
Preliminary experimental versions of Virtual Box "Drag'N'Drop" to a Linux guest only were introduced in version 4.2 .
