Now the time has come to customize the new added shared folder. If you desire to add a new shared folder to the list, click the Add icon in the right section of the form. At the same time, Machine Folders are permanent objects, which will be visible in the constant manner, until they are removed manually from the virtual OS. Transient folders are temporary objects which are scheduled to be deleted from view when the virtual environment shuts down or restarts. You may configure two types of common directories: Transient and Machine.
Right here you may customize the shared folders, available to the user. When the virtual machine would reboot, click the Machine -> Settings item in the guest OS upper menu and select Shared Folders subcategory. Thus, you will receive an appropriate notification concerning this. After setup is performed, the virtual OS would require the reboot. The setting up routine will take a bit more than a minute from you, but during the walkthrough of the process you will be given strict instructions. In such a non-intricate way a required installer will be run.įollow the screen instructions and set up the predefined feature in the guest OS. In order to install the described before image disk address to the upper menu of the application and click Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD Image item. This is required for the virtual environment to actually see the appropriate shared files in the host system and to apply it correspondingly. If you want to transfer some objects from host operational system to the virtual machine, you need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions image disk in the guest VM. The very start, I should mention, that you may exchange files between VirtualBox VM and host system either in Windows or Linux operational environment, and the methodic is quite similar and almost identical. In this text note I am going to precisely describe the procedure of sharing files between VirtualBox and host, how to arrange the common method of exchanging file objects and how does the virtual transfer work. This feature is especially useful when you customize or configure anything and you need access to the file objects anywhere and anytime.
Instead of downloading the files in the virtual environment, when the Ethernet-connection is not working properly, it is much easier to transfer the corresponding file objects from host OS to VM or backwards and start using it right at the place. During the virtual emulation the probability to share files between virtual machine and host is vital for the end user.
