[vbox-dev] is virtstor being implemented?

[Huihong Luo]

I think Liang meant copy-paste files, I don't think vbox has that implemented.
 
The dnd is still working in progress, we did a protype, but not get the time to finish it yet. There is also an issue on mouse release, seems to be very tricky, and still haven't figured it out how to smoothly move mouse from host to vm while pressed.
 
Once done, we will first release it in vmlite, then contribue to vbox

Do you have any benchmarks to prove it ? (performance separately, CPU
usage separately)

copy-n-paste was here forever (since year 2007).
drag-n-drop done by Huihong Luo, but not committed to VBox source tree.
