Incorrect File Naming when Transferring Folders via Drag and Drop

Description
When transferring folders from the Windows Host to the Linux Host, the files in the folders are named incorrectly. An example is shown below:
1 folder called foo, with files bar.txt and baz.txt inside the folder. When the folder is copied across, the files are copied to a dated folder in ~/Documents/VirtualBox Dropped Files.
The names of the files are "foo", "foo\bar.txt" and "foo\baz.txt". These files are all in the dated folder.
I have not tested if this happens on a Linux Host to a Windows guest, but I suspect a similar issue would happendue to the file difference in using "\" or "/" in paths.
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
