I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 in VirtualBox.

I would like to unpack a tar.gz in my root (/) folder but I can't paste any file in it or even create a new folder in the file browser.

I can do that with command line when I use sudo but when I use right click I don't have access to create new folder or paste... I have sudo privilege so I don't really understand.

I think it can by done with terminal because with mkdir I've been able to create a folder, but I can't write in this folder.

Does anybody have any clue about it?

try to do the following from your terminal:

sudo -H nautilus

that way you will get all the privileges like as root to make folders and paste stuffs everywhere you want.
