Full screen mode and shared folders

Post by Tomenable »

Is there a full screen mode in Virtual Machine? If so, how to change from a window mode to a full screen mode? Also another question - how to add a permanent shared folder to my virtual machine? I used this method but it seems to work just tempirarily:

"Folder Path is the actual folder path on the Host OS. Folder Name is any arbitrary name you choose to have for your shared folder; it need not be physically present either on Host OS or Guest OS. Now, we need to actually mount the shared folder on the Guest OS. Run the following commands on the Guest OS, from the user's home directory : mkdir -p ~/shared3; sudo mount -t vboxsf shared2 ~/shared3 . Hereon, the ~/shared3 folder on the Guest OS will show same content as the Folder Path on the Host OS, and the folder will be readable/writable both ways."

RTFM! Ctrl-F toggling the full screen mode. To create a permanent shared folder - use the according checkbox in the shared folder creation dialog.
