Correct way to install Virtualbox Guest Additions packages on Kali Linux and create shared folders

Read full details here: Correct way to install Virtualbox Guest Additions packages on Kali Linux and create shared folders

It seems there’s lots of confusion on what is the correct way to install VirtualBox guest additions packages on Kali Linux. Unfortunately, there’s only one way to do it! So if you’re not following the steps below, you won’t be able to use Kali Linux is full screen properly (seamless windows) and shared clipboard or drag n’drop will not work. I’ve actually posted this in a separate post with detailed step by step instructions showing how to install Kali Linux on VirtualBox. But even on that post, I’ve seen many users getting confused and it seems creating a separate post about correct way to install VirtualBox Guest additions packages on Kali Linux is the way to go.
This post will fix or resolve the following issues:
  1. Can’t make Kali Linux run in full screen on VirtualBox
  2. Can’t enable shared folder on Kali Linux running on VirtualBox.
  3. Shared clipboard not working on Kali Linux on VirtualBox.
  4. Kali Linux on VirtualBox is slow and not responding. It freezes!
  5. Mouse integration is not working on Kali Linux on VirtualBox.
  6. Kali Linux on VirtualBox doesn’t detect your display resolution properly.
While we are at it, I will also include the instructions on how to create a shared folder so that you can copy paste contents between your host and guest operating system.
