Please also be aware that drag and drop (DnD) support at the moment only is available for the official 'VirtualBox Manager' frontend. To enable drag and drop support, go to the VM's 'Devices' menu, open 'Drag and drop' and select the appropriate mode you want to use. Third note: Drag and drop is disabled by default on newly created VMs. Without Guest Additions drag and drop will not work! Second note: The guest needs to have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed in order to perform drag and drop operations from/to the host.

Older versions of VirtualBox only had experimental support and therefore are not supported.

The adjustments affect the host operating system as well as the guest you want to use for this drag and drop operation.įirst note: Drag and drop support only is available for VirtualBox 5.0 and newer. To diagnose your problem further we need you to run your VirtualBox installation with several adjustments being made. Handling drag and drop operations across various host and guest OS combinations is a difficult and time sensitive topic.
