View a folder on the desktop which is the shared folder that you created for access to your local machine fromn the VM.

Open the "Terminal" application (bash terminal)

Run the following to install guest additions and enable clipboard sharing (since we configured the VM to use Bidirectional clipboard sharing). If you get error Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock, then the Software Update and associated dialog window needs to be closed first.

sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install -y xorg-video-abi-23 &&
sudo apt-get install -y xserver-xorg-core &&
sudo apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-utils &&
sudo apt-get install -y virtualbox-guest-x11 &&
sudo VBoxClient --clipboard

Copy some text from the local machine (i.e. CMD+C), and paste the text in the VM by "right-click > Paste" (i.e. CMD+V shortcut in the VM does not work).
