mount - Ubuntu 14.04 Virtualbox Guest USB Drive Mounting Works For Some Devices but Not Others

I have a VirtualBox ubuntu guest running on a osx host. I've searched the web and implemented the solution for similar problems, but nothing has helped me resolve my issue.


When I connect my phone, ubuntu mounts the device automatically. When I connect my USB drive (Kanguru SS3 32GB), it does not mount the drive. I'm only using one processor for my VM settings. VirtualBox has the device available and selected under the "USB Devices" menu, but the /media/ folder is empty and the drive does not automount.


So I don't know what to do at this point. Seems like overkill but should I uninstall/reinstall VirtualBox? Why would the guest os mount one usb device, but not the other?
