No write access to shared folders

Post by bandemonio »

In my guest systems I have no write access in shared folders (as a user). The user root has write access but is not able to change user rights.
My host user is in group vboxusers and my guest user is in group vboxsf. Controlling this with the command "id" I end up like this:

Host

Code: Select all

host@host:~$ id
uid=1000(host) gid=1000(host) groups=1000(host),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),130(vboxusers),997(docker),999(sambashare)
Guest

Code: Select all

guest@guest:~$ id
uid=1000(guest) gid=1000(guest) groups=1000(guest),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),997(vboxsf),999(sambashare)
The only thing I could guess is, that there is a problem with my Docker group. I installed Docker before VirtualBox and it is using the goup-ID 997 on my host system.
Is there any problem known in this direction or does anybody has an other idea?

Greetings...
