Ubuntu host Win 8 guest Shared folder

[listening]

I apologize for asking a question that must have been asked many times, but I cannot find the help I need. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 host and Windows 8 guest. I have guest additions installed. How do I setup and share a folder or folders between the Ubuntu and Windows? In the shared folder setup I input the path to a folder that is on the host, but how do I see that folder when in Windows? If someone could either explain or point me to a good tutorial.

Thank you.

It's all in the book.

Why so complicated, why not just input path to folder and then be able to see it within the guest?

Question. How does it work if you have two PCs and want to share files?
You can use a true network share if you use bridged or host-only, but the default is NAT and the host and guest can not see each other and that is where the shared folders really come in handy.

I got it working. Thank you
