In BODHI guest I executed:

sudo apt-get purge virtualbox*
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

and can drag files from BODHI guest to WIN10 host. I can bidrectionally copy clipboard data. I've tried restarts of BODHI and tried bidrectional as well as host to guest "Drag and Drop" settings.

When I try to drag a file from WIN10 host to BODHI guest there is a small red circle with a slash through it in the lower right hand corner of the file's icon. I've tried copying the WIN10 host file to the BODHI guest desktop and thunar file manager. The file is a text file created by WIN10 notepad.

My guess is the BODHI guest requires some permission to allow the drag and drop operation to occur.

I suggest you read up on the "shared storage" folder option in VirtualBox.

I had to read up on why wpeckham suggested what he said. I think he is correct.

"One nice bonus to this is that adding the Guest Additions also allows the enabling of Drag and Drop. Or it should. To enable the feature, click Devices | Drag and Drop | Bidirectional. There is one caveat to this, in that Drag and Drop doesn't work with every desktop or every file manager. The feature will not work with Elementary OS, or most desktops that depend upon Wayland. The chances Drag and Drop will not work for you are slim. If so, you'll need to make use of Shared Folders (until the developers work out the associated Drag and Drop bugs)."
