VirtualBox to share clipboard and files

I use VirtualBox 5.2.6 on Windows 10. There is an Ubuntu virtual machine, from which I would like to access to host's clipboard and files. I tried to use

Machine>Settings >> General>Advanced>Shared Clipboard

I also tried

Devices>Shared Clipboard>Bidirectional

I installed virtualbox-guest-dkms too, but has no effect.

Solution

  • You need first to install guest addition in your VM, you may take a look here if you need help.
