Hi John, If you're moving a single file, once in a blue moon, I suppose using a USB stick isn't too bad. I tend to share many files between my Host and Guest such that it'd be too inefficient to use a thumbdrive to transfer files. Especially for my main, desktop machine which resides in a different room than my office. > I even qualified my comment initially leaving room > for doubt, but, if I am missing something, I would like a valid > explanation of why you said that it "... is a bad solution" instead > of simply your opinion. Perhaps it's a language translation but if I saw someone using a USB stick to transfer files when they know that a `Shared Folder' option exists, well, I wouldn't think they're an efficient person. > I am inclined to think that Oracle created the functionality of "USB > passthrough" for VB for good reason, The good reason is options. If your situation is such that you are sharing your Guest VM across to external users, then you need to take some security precautions. If that's not the case for you, go with Shared Folders.
