VirtualBox defaults to using the CDROM/DVD drive which is pretty
worthless unless you have a supply of blanks, I don't have many on hand

success.
Googling suggests group/user problems, I have bobg and root listed as
vboxusers.
The GUI has a USB menu which is always grayed, where I can create a
filter, it recognizes the Sandisk flash drive when entered, I click on
OK and nothing is saved apparently.
Now I've run across something in google that suggests an entry in fstab
may be required?
Has any one worked through this maze who can tell me how to make it work?

Uninstall the version you got from the Fedora repos and install the
version from
virtualbox.org. Go to
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and scroll down to
RPM-based Linux distributions.
Once you've got it installed, go to
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and download VirtualBox 4.2.16
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. From the Virtual Box GUI, use FILE
-> PREFERENCES to install the extension file you just downloaded.
