USB Redirection

USB is a universal hardware bus protocol used to plug any kind of device into your computer. USB redirection makes devices plugged into your local computer available in the machines running in Boxes. For instance, a USB flash drive or a webcam will appear as directly connected to the virtual computer.

To enable host USB devices in a box:

  1. Make sure the box is running.

  2. Right-click the box in the collection view and select Preferences, or click the menu (settings) button in the header bar and select Preferences.

  3. Click the Devices & Shares tab.

  4. USB Devices connected to the host machine are shown in a list. Set the switch next to each desired device to ON.
