| 8 | As Oracle VM VirtualBox can run on a variety of host operating systems
|
|---|
| 9 | and also supports a wide range of guests, certain data formats
|
|---|
| 10 | must be translated after transfer. This is so that the
|
|---|
| 11 | destination operating system, which receives the data, is able
|
|---|
| 12 | to handle them in an appropriate manner.

|
|---|
| 16 | When dragging files no data conversion is done in any way. For
|
|---|
| 17 | example, when transferring a file from a Linux guest to a
|
|---|
| 18 | Windows host the Linux-specific line endings are not converted
|
|---|
| 19 | to Windows line endings.
