How to I grant permission to the VM to access the shared folder as currently when I try to access the shared folder I get:
This location could not be displayed. You do not have permissions necessary to view the contents of "sf_Shared".

Start by reading the User Manual? From ch. 4.3.2 Automatic Mounting:Sy wrote:How to I grant permission to the VM to access the shared folder
You need to add your VM user to the 'vboxsf' group...Access to an automatically mounted shared folder is granted to everyone in a Windows guest, including the guest user. For Linux and Oracle Solaris guests, access is restricted to members of the group vboxsf and the root user.
Code: Select all
sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf $(whoami)
