USB also works.

Guest additions are working fine for me in Virtualbox 4.3, so I don't think this is correct. But if you want to make an updated image, you are welcome to.

I wasn't able to get USB working prior to upgrading. Now that I can transfer files directly with guest additions, I haven't needed USB.
But I might try it again just out of curiosity.

IIUC you couldn't use USB because you didn't have the guest additions installed. Then you updated to a newer version of Ubuntu, and either that came packaged with the guest additions or you installed them. I'll make a note recommending that people install the guest additions.

Maybe you should stick to Ubuntu LTS release so that you don't have to upgrade. As you can see,Ubuntu 10.04 is still maintained while ubuntu 11.04 is abandoned.
