virtualbox.org

Been using Virtual Box for many moons quite successfully. Today I upgraded to the latest version and now I cannot browse files when I try to define shared folders. Kind of stops me in my tracks when trying to connect an ISO for a new VM.

I tried to search for a similar issue without success. Hopefully someone reading this will have a solution.
Any suggestions/ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The two issues are not related. Would you mind explaining in FULL detail what your problem is? "I cannot browse files" is too generic. We need details; host, guest, OS of both, etc., etc. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance. As far as the "VBox.log.zip" goes, here's what you do:
- Start the VM.
- Record the error message. EXACTLY. Post a screenshot if you have to.
- Shut down the VM (if it hasn't aborted by itself).
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager.
- Select "Show Log..."
- Save it, ZIP it and attach it in your response.

I found with Fedora that I had to add the vboxsf group to the list of groups the non-root user had access to.

Also found I had issues with the host-only adapter when upgrading to 5.0.14 and that I had to do a uninstall and reinstall 5.0.14 for the host-only adapter to function.

I've had big issues with networking after the 5.0.14 upgrade as well... hope a patch comes out ASAP. This is ridiculous that this has been approved to go live.
I had to adjust my network adapter on all of my virtual machines, going from my normal Windows network drivers to some unknown Qualcom drivers
