Shared Folder

Post by JNDoubleU »

I am trying to set up a Shared folder. I have followed all instructions in user Manual and on line however when I go to My Network Places>Entire Network there is only Adobe Drive CS4 Network and Microsoft Windows Net work—No VirtualBox Shared Network.

Have you installed the guest additions?

If so you may need to mount the share in Windows by using the statement below in a command window.

net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename -p where sharename is what you told VBox in the guest settings.
