Ubuntu – Virtualbox Drag N Drop isn’t working

13.04drag and dropvirtualbox

I followed the steps but still can't drag and drop files to Virtualbox guest OS. I went to Settings, General, Advanced, clicked Bidirectional on both Shared Clipboard and Drag N Drop and i still can't drag or copy anything to the guest OS(Win7). Am i missing something?

Best Answer

Drag and Drop works only for Linux guests (guest: OS on the virtual machine)

Source:

Added experimental support for Drag'n'drop from the host to Linux guests. Support for more guests and for guest-to-host is planned.

As guitar42697 said, you have to set a shared folder.
