There are settings you can configure in virtual box to set up the copy/paste clipboard to be shared from host and guest machine (in either or both directions), so don't lose hope. Just keep looking!

Thanks. I tried checking the box that allows copying and pasting files from the clipboard, but it still didn't work.
Skill issue :p /j
Copy-pasting in and out of a vm requires integration from both the guest software and the host hypervisor. If either of them don't, or use a different approach, you won't have that functionality.
