Connect LINUX-folders in VB Windows

Post by Old man »

I need some help.
On my Linux machine I want to use a Linux-map in Windows.
What to do? Only adding the map in "Shared maps" does not work

I changed your title from "Connect LINUX-maps in VB Windows" to "Connect LINUX-folders in VB Windows", I didn't change your message. In Dutch it's "map", in English it's "folder", or "directory". Just to avoid the confusion... ;)

Where are you looking for the Shared Folder? If you have installed the Guest Additions (GAs), and you've mapped a directory from your Linux host, then you should find the Shared Folder under the Network in Windows Explorer.

You didn't mention your host (complete details), you didn't mention your guest (complete details), you didn't mention your VirtualBox version. No details at all to be exact...

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
