What do you mean "add"? A USB device plugged into a system running VB should be able to be "seen" by the virtual OS? (albeit may have to be added thru the Devices menu)

Click to expand...

Yes. You need to download and install the VirtualBox Extension Pack to have USB 2/3 support. Usage details are in the manual under USB Support.
