VBox has really easy Windows integration. To this day I have not managed to have a shared folder and especially clipboard with any guest, let alone Windows.

This may be easily possible, but not just a few clicks

Shared folders are easy with Linux guests, you just set it up in virt-manager and then mount it in Linux. With windows it's possible and I have done it but you need to install the virtiofs driver alongside winfsp and then make sure the virtiofs service is running. So the setup is definitely a bit obtuse. I haven't done clipboard sharing deliberately as I don't love the idea of that being synced but I should at least try it so I know what setup is like. The file sharing isn't hard once you learn how to set it up but figuring it out the first time is a challenge for windows guests.

I will see if this is documented and maybe try to improve it.

Docs are important!
