Address to the upper menu of the app and click Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image menu item in the virtual machine running. In order to apply it, you would need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions in the guest VM. The way you can use shared folders either in Linux or Windows environment is quite similar. How to use a shared folder feature in Windows in Oracle VM VirtualBox? In this article I’m going to tell how to open a shared folder in VirtualBox in Windows and in Linux OS. In this case you may use the host system connection and transfer the file object right to the emulated system. This is very convenient if you don’t have access to the Internet in guest operational system, for instance, and you need to download some file. Open VirtualBox, and with the Windows 7 virtual machine selected in the left side, click the 'General' button on the "Details" tab.In virtual machine the shared folders feature allows to exchange the files between the host and the guest OS and vice versa.
If you already have set the folders, just follow the last three steps!ġ.
The following steps assume that you do NOT have any shared folders added to your Windows 7 virtual machine. Therefore, I present today a step-by-step tutorial (with screenshots) to this very simple-to-fix issue (you won't believe how simple it was in the end).įor this tutorial, we've used VirtualBox 3.0.6 and Windows 7 Ultimate, on an Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6 machine. Like many of you out there, I've searched and searched on the Internet for a solution to this issue, which I've also noticed to be quite popular (why should it be? you create something on the virtual machine and you want to save it, right?), and many guides are incomplete or they point you in the wrong direction.
So, what's not working? Well, you set the folder(s) in the "Shared Folders" section of the virtual machine's settings dialog and they will NOT appear in Windows 7, like it works with Windows XP. I have recently encountered another issue: sharing folders with a Windows 7 guest machine! In my last tutorial about VirtualBox (the free virtualization software from Sun Microsystems) I offered a solution to fix the USB support, a problem that I think is fixed now, but.
