Can't Navigate to Files in Mac Finder via VirtualBox

Post by ramonekalsaw »

Hello,

I'm not able to navigate to Windows files I have stored in the Mac Finder via WindowsXP Explorer. I can do this with Parallels on my other machine because Parallels enables access to the Mac Finder via Windows > MyNetwork Places > Entire Network > .Mac on .psf ...

Is there an equivalent route in VirtualBox?

Or bottomline: How do I get Windows files from the Mac Finder into VirtualBox?

Thanks.

In the virtual machine's settings, set some shared folders and give them a name. Then they'll appear in "Entire Network" or you can Map Network Drives with \\vboxsf\sharename
