Shared Folders with Linux Guest

Post by 2handband »

I'm running Netrunner Linux with the KDE desktop as a guest on a Win10 host. I have set up a shared folder in settings with automount selected, and on the guest OS I have added my user to the vboxsf group. virtualbox-guest-modules and virtualbox-guest-utils are both installed on the guest machine. So where is my shared folder? If it's mounting, I can't find it.

Moving to "Linux Guests" from "Windows Hosts" since the problem appears to be in your guest.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
