Description
Hello. Virtualbox 6.1.2 The latest extension pack 6.1.2 Host system is Ubuntu 18.04 Guest System is Windows 8.1 Drug and drop files or directories from host system to guest works well. If I drag and drop a file from guest system to host everything also works fine. But when I drag and drop directory (directory name 123456) from guest system to host system, it writes error: Error getting information about the file «/tmp/VirtualBox Dropped Files/2020-01-29T09:12:18.533778000Z/123456»: No such file or directory
I went to the directory /tmp/VirtualBox Dropped Files/2020-01-29T09:12:18.533778000Z/ There I see my files with a false slash: 123456\Hello.txt 123456\Hello2.txt This is a file names.
But it must be /tmp/VirtualBox Dropped Files/2020-01-29T09:12:18.533778000Z/123456/Hello.txt and etc.
Please fix a bug. And in my home directory it create Directory with name /tmp/VirtualBox Dropped Files/2020-01-29T09:12:18.533778000Z/123456

Can you please try with the latest test build for VirtualBox 6.1? You can get the latest test builds on the Testbuilds page.
Please note that also the Guest Additions of this test build need to be installed on the guest, followed by a guest reboot.
Let me know if this fixes the issue for you. Thank you!

Hello. Won't pollute author's report by adding my own logs unless queried by a developer.
Host (not in nested virtualisation environment): Fedora 35; kernel v. 5.16.x; Gnome 41 on X.org; VirtualBox GUI v.6.1.32_rpmfusion r149290, (Qt5.15.2). Guests: Fedora 35, Windows 10.
Note: GA installed by relying solely on this application built-in tool and therefore not by solely relying on the package present in Fedora repository that covers a similar task. Indeed that package does not serve any missing function and should then be removed; that's a separate issue, not involving this application.
- Drag and drop: operation only working from host to guest; a denied-icon is exhibited in host, in Nautilus, when attempting to operate from guest to host.
- Clipboard not working bidirectionally tested by copy/paste operations.
