Share document between Windows host and Linux VMs

[tot94]

Hello,

Here is my scheme :


I don't my VMs being connected on Internet. So I'll share document between the host and the VMs.

I have install Guest addition on my Ubuntu :



And then I have shared a folder from my Windows host :


The folder is noticeable from my Ubuntu VM :


On my Ubuntu VM, I try to reach the folder, but I see nothing :
osboxes@osboxes:/$ ls media/
osboxes

But where do I reach to this folder ??? What is the patch from my Ubuntu VMs to this Windows host machine folder ??

Click on the image in order to see them fully.

Before you can use shared folders you should run this in the Ubuntu Terminal...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential

Then reinstall the guest additions.

You then need to add your username to the vboxsf Group

Code: Select all

sudo adduser username vboxsf

replace <username> with your actual user name
Then restart the guest.
The shared folder will be in the Media folder...
