Shared folders not working with Windows 10

Post by Ztruker »

Installed Windows 10 X64 in VB 4.3.12 under Windows 8.1 X64, runs great.

What doesn't work is Shared Folders. Is this because Guest Additions is not available for Win 10 TP?

In a word, yes.

Can your Win 10 VM access USB devices?

i suggest to try rdp.

perhaps, you did not complete to install the guest additions.
but current version of guest additions is not support win10.

i tried below...
VboxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe /force
this will bypass version check, but still remain some trouble.

With Network set to Bridged Adapter you can explore shared folders on your Host, just like any other computer in your LAN.

Hi,

After upgrading to Windows 10 I had same issue and shared folder was not available so I uninstalled Guest Additions and then re-installed again and then shared folders worked again.

Hi,

Upgrade at least to VirtualBox 5.0.20, and reinstall Guest Additions. Everything works after that.
Best regards,

HeCSa.
