I'm super interested in this option!
We need to mount a single windows host PC folder on the linux guest ...but I'm not sure at all how to achieve it (the links I've seen aren't really clear to me)If I am completely missing an important point, then here is another workaround: Don't use Guest Additions Shared Folders. Rather, use real host-OS shared folders passed through the Host-Only network. Then you can not run Guest Additions, stay with VNC, avoid copy/paste conflict, and still be able to pass data between host and guest. In fact, GASFs are really only for manual drag-n-drop file & folder copying between host and guest, not for anything else. But real shared folders can run, edit, churn databases, etc.
Would you by any wild chance be able to point me at a helpful example/explanation?
thanks again!
PS - you can ignore the following section in my previous update, I have done further investigation and it is a red herring
ADDITIONALLY: I should mention I see an error when installing the 6.1.10 GAs (we've been seeing this for some versions of GAs now but - maybe stupidly - I haven't paid attention to)
