How to create shared folders between virtual machines?

Post by IBSucks »

How can I create shared folders or make a connection DIRECTLY between virtual machines? Is there a way?
I mean "directly" as not going through the host machines since I do not want my virtual machines to ever contact my host machine.

Thank you

Obviously there's a way. If the VMs are part of a common network then a normal network shared folder will be visible to both. Google for details of how to configure those. VirtualBox offers various networking modes, some hich allow the host to participate, others which don't. Details in the user manual.
