Guys,
If I copy / paste some text from my laptop to a file inside of my VirtualBox, or copy to social media accounts that I access via my VM, can it make my identity transparent somehow and it can be traced? (I use a VPN. inside of my VM).

Op ask does it leave any footprint. The answer is yes. But I won't worry too much since to access it you need to control the hardware, basicly full control of the device.
In technical term when copy to clipboard that data is save temporarily in pc memory as cache, and those understand can check this out.
