My host is 64 bit Windows 7 bit where my VirtualBox is running 32 bit Windows 7. I have installed guest services and I have enabled drag and drop in Settings >> General >> Advance to bidirectional.
I can copy/paste text file between host and virtual box and copy/paste or drag/drop doesn't work.
I have tried one of the solution here by Sam there (Kill VBoxTray.exe) but it didn't work. I see other threads like this but there are no answer.
Which version of VirtualBox are you using? Can you drag and drop from the guest VM to the host? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-10-05T15:32:20.150
Also from VBox's documentation (latest version): "Limitations: On Windows hosts, dragging and dropping content from UAC-elevated (User Account Control) programs to non-UAC-elevated programs and vice versa is now allowed. So when starting VirtualBox with Administrator privileges then drag and drop will not work with the Windows Explorer which runs with regular user privileges by default." – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-10-05T15:40:05.103
@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 I am using the latest 5.1.6 The drag and drop doesn't work in either direction. – zar – 2016-10-05T17:13:10.817
To install guest services, when your virtual OS is running from Virtual box menu select Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image. Guest editions is required to have drag & drop and shared clipboard – mohas – 2017-11-17T21:03:59.827
