How to access shared folders on VirtualBox on Windows Vista/7 Guest

[sekailover]

is that a girl or a boy? O_O

[geothehunter]

IMPORTANT: if the system can't find the path, you have to install the Guest Additions first, from the Devices menu - at the top of the screen in your VirtualBox. cheers ;)

thanks for your earlier reply. still not work. I am running Windows 7 host and Linux (Mint & Ubuntu) as guest in Virtualbox. If I loaded VB then the guest Linux, I can see my Windows network and workgroup, but I can't connect to that or any folder that I map as a share. This is driving me nuts. Can you help ? Please

[EddieGlitter]

hi, i'm running vbox on a separate drive. is the mapping the same ?

[HyyRisque]

Hey, i need your help, im doing exactly what you said and it says c"windows cannot access \\vboxsvr\share": what should i do, im trying to share a file fom my normal computer to a virtual machine. urgent.

[padmwe]

@HyyRisque easy way to do it, once u share the folder, log on to ur virtual machine e.g guest , for example mine is windows 7 is the guest and linux is the host,

so i log on to vmachine (windows 7) go to network and ur share will b there just create a shortcut

Thank you very, very much. I been looking for a solution for the last hour, an have managed it so quickly with your version. PEOPLE, this works with WINDOWS XP.

Just go to Tools > Map Network Drive, and after you've followed these instructions you'll see it as another drive in My Computer.

Thank you !!!

For some reason my system can't connect to that destination.

Why am I every single time the only one that gets a strange fail? :D

There should be a contest for that...
