permission error

[skarthickbabu]

Dear All,

I am very new to this vb. please help me.

My Operating system is Windows-7, on this i had installed Virtualbox (Version 5.1.16 r113841 (Qt5.6.2)). Inside the virtualbox, I had installed CentOS7 and also VBox additions.
I wanted to share a folder in windows operating system to CentOS-7 through share folder option.
In CentOS-7, i could very well see that it is mounted and but I cant access the files.
I get an error with permissions.

by typing df, i get the following message

NMRdata_forVirtual /media/sf_NMRdata_forVirtual
but when i try to cd

bashsf_NMRdata_forVirtual/: Permission denied

when i do ll
i get
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf sf_NMRdata_forVirtual


Can somebody help me to sort this ?

Thanks

Add your user name to the vboxsf group on the guest and reboot.
