Sharing files with a Windows 7 host and a Windows 8.1 guest

[rkb]

I clicked on the guest and installed the Guest additions and now I see on the Windows 7 host the name of my machine in the network but when I click on it it gives me an error that the computer could not be found. How do I share files (for discussion assume that the name of my host computer is 'host' and the name of my guest computer is 'guest')? Do I need to do anything more on the host? Guest? Both?

Thank you.

Depends on the type of share.
Network share you would need to use Bridged or Host-Only as your network mode.
Otherwise use the shared folders of VirtualBox.
