I just installed Virtual Box 6.1 on my laptop, I have Ubuntu 22.04 as host and Windows 10 as guest and I just cannot share files beetwen host and guest. I already looked into loads of tutorials online but VM just wont detect my usb and drag and drop does not work either. Has anybody solved any of those problems? Thanks in advance

You need to install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
If you installed VirtualBox using apt, then run
sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack
If you installed VirtualBox from Oracle site, you can download it from there too.

Did you enable Drag & Drop in the machine menu? Also you have to enable USB devices too, or set them up permanently. – Pilot6 May 21 '22 at 11:31

Yes I did enable drag and drop. I did enable the USB devices, but for some reason it just won't detect my usb on the filter section. – Thiago May 21 '22 at 11:32
