Systems and methods for managing peripheral devices associated with host computer systems running virtual machines. An example method comprises: detecting, by a host computer system, a plug-in event associated with a peripheral device; identifying a type of a file system of the peripheral device; selecting, among a group of execution environments comprising the host computer system and one or more virtual machines, an execution environment having a highest compatibility metric value associated with the type of the file system; and responsive to determining that the execution environment is provided by a virtual machine, causing a guest agent running on the virtual machine to mount the peripheral device to the virtual machine.
