I can confirm that fact - shared clipboard does not work despite same (6.1.4-136177) version (as VirtualBox) of installed Extension Pack at VirtualBox side and Guest Additions at VM side AND from VM Settings (Machine->Settings->General->Advanced->Shared Clipboard->Bidirectional->OK) is Shared Clipboard turned on AND then VM started (or restarted). Using some VMs for everyday production and it is very annoying.
1. In Virtual Box Guest machine, press the " Host key"* + " Del " key to open Task Manager OR go to Windows Guest "... 2. In " Processes " tab, select the " VBoxTray.exe " and press " End Process ".* * Note: If " VBoxTray.exe " is not... 3. Now click the " Applications " tab and select " New Task
The VirtualBox Shared Clipboard gives guests read or write access to the clipboard even when the window for the virtual machine is not focused. With clipboard sharing enabled, the guest can indefinitely monitor the host clipboard or replace its contents even with no recent user interaction with the VM.
Try to check VirtualBox Preferences -> General -> Advanced is it Shared Clipboard do not disabled.
With Guest Additions installed, the clipboard of your guest OS can be shared with your host OS. Highlight the Guest VBox in the VirtualBox console, open General -> Advanced. Here you can choose between various Shared Clipboard settings: Disabled, Guest to Host, Host to Guest or Bidirectional
Background: I run Windows 7 64 bit, Linux inside Virtual Box v4.3.16 r95972. After building a new 3.17 kernel on one of my VM's the guest additions in general stopped working (this included both Cut&Paste and the window resizing).
I am working on a document on mac (osx 10.9) and I have a virual machine running windows 7 - the issue is I dont know how to enable it so I can copy text from the word document in mac to the word document or application in the virtual box.
