Where are Virtual Machine Files stored?

Post by Grandiane »

I can see VirtualBox listed under Applications on my hard drive, but where are the files stored? I want to import them to another virtual machine. When I try to import, that VB Application is grayed out.

When you first installed VirtualBox, you should have told MaxOSX where to put the Vm files.
Mine are at /Users/myusername/VirtualBox VMs.

Having said that, I would not use those to do anything other than to look at.
I've had much success using the VirtualBox GUI to CLONE and to EXPORT and then IMPORT to another Mac.
