virtualbox.org

Habe mir auf meinem Win10-System (Host) ein virtuelles Win7 (Gast) eingerichtet. Läuft.
Der Dateiaustausch erfolgt dabei über das Gast-Netzwerk VBOXSVR, quasi der auf dem Host freigegebene öffentliche Ordner. Im Gast heisst der (unter VBOXSVR) "\\VBOXSVR\Public".


Problem:
Mit jedem Verlassen der VM incl. Speichern wird beim nächsten Aufruf jedesmal ein weiterer "\\VBOXSVR\Public"-Freigabe-Ordner unter VBOXSVR im Netzwerk (mehr) angezeigt. Einer würde mir reichen.


Was mache ich falsch?

EN: Each time you leave the VM including save, another "\\VBOXSVR\Public" release folder is displayed under VBOXSVR in the network (more) the next time you call it up.

Take a look at the Known Issues in the "Discuss the 6.0.0 release" post. You are seeing the effects of ticket #18373 Multiple copies of shared folders.

Thank you. Obviously, other users also have this bug.
I use version 6.0.4.
What to do? Wait or install version 5?

Or don't use live saved states? That's an option too you know...

I know, but I'm configuring the VM right now, and I have to back it up again and again. Later I can not remove the excess folders anymore.
Which version of VirtualBox can you recommend to me?

And you can very well shut it down in between snapshots. And you definitely have to remember:

SNAPSHOTS ARE NOT BACKUPS!

The last of the 5.2.x series? 5.2.26 as of this writing...

Thanks, but if I shut down and save the state to continue later, I'll have an extra network folder the next time I open the VM.
I'm downloading 5.2.26.
If installed, I will contact you again.

5.2 is running normal. Thank you !!!
