There should be a usb section in options to configure it.

Shared Folders
Plug the USB in
In the Settings for that VM, select that drive
There is a choice for Machine Folders or Transient Folders. Try them and see which works better for you.

EDIT: Yes, there is a USB section as well. Click on the + to add a usb device.
