Bidirectional support not working after 6.1.4 update in Linux Mint 19.1 or Ubuntu 14.04

[DStair]

I did an update yesterday to VB 6.1.4, installed the latest extension pack 6.1.4r136177, and updated the vbox guest additions to 6.1.4. I lost the ability to automatically mount my shared folder, I solved this by editing the following

sudo systemctl edit --full vboxadd-service

removed "systemd-timesync.service" from "Conflicts=" line in [Unit] section. change from --> Conflicts=shutdown.target systemd-timesync.service

To --> Conflicts=shutdown.target

Then rebooted Solved the automount issue, but did not solve the bidirectional copy and paste not working. What can I try next?

Having same problem with bidirectional copy and paste in my Ubuntu guest as well. Id say, since I have the same issue in both this may be a bug.

Having same problem with bidirectional copy and paste in my Ubuntu

That is bug Ticket #19336
Linux guest: shared clipboard doesn't work (on fresh VirtualBox-6.1.4-136177)

THe shared folder /vboxadd-service issue you describe is news though.

I installed today 6.1.4r136177 (Qt5.6.2) with extension pack 6.1.4r136177 on my Windows 10 system and tried with Ubuntu 19.10 LVM. Meanwhile I am trying and searching for more than 3 hours and do not find a way to get the shared folders to work. Help strongly appreciated.
