OSX and Ubuntu share

Post by TnG600_RR »

Host: Mac OSX
Guest: Ubuntu
Linux Experience: 0

I am trying to find out how to properly mount the share folder I have created on my Mac OS Host over to the Ubuntu guest. I have the extension package loaded and Ubuntu has all updates. In VB before I start up the Guest I can see the share under the settings tab. Also I have no Linux experience.
