STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use Wayland session
2. install a guest OS in VirtualBox (I installed Window$ 10)
3. boot the guest OS with VirtualBox
4. click on "Devices" menu of the guest OS window, hover over "Drag and drop" and choose "Biderectional"
5. open Dolphin
6. drag a folder containing some files from the guest OS and drop it on Dolphin
7. choose "Copy" in the context menu

OBSERVED RESULT
a folder weirdly called "file://tmp/VirtualBoxDropped Files xxxxxxxx" is created, and the files from the dropped folder
are pasted individually. I can't reproduce this bug with Nautilus file manager. Please watch the attached screen recording.

EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5

Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 2 × Intel® Celeron® CPU G1820 @ 2.70GHz


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My VirtualBox runs on Xwayland. Sometimes the guest OS is aborted when I try to drag the folder from it, or Dolphin shows "folder does not exist" inline error message after the provided steps.
