Ubuntu Server 12.04 Guest - what is shared folder name?

Post by Gazley »

Hi,

I've trawled through Google trying to find an answer that is probably staring me in the face.

I've installed the Guest Additions, no problems whatsoever. I have created a shared folder - the Documents folder on my iMac. I don't know how to "see" or access the shared folder from within the Ubuntu guest. Where can I find and list the files in my shared folder from inside my Ubuntu VM?

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the link. I had already found that document so I must not be understanding what it is trying to say :(

I'll read through again and see if it becomes any clearer.
