I've got error: mount: /home/myusername/test: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /home/myusername/test, missing codepage or helper program or other error. Sudo mount -t vboxsf test /home/myusername/test Sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkmsĪnd checked that the package was installed with command: lsmod | grep -io vboxguestīut when I rebooted and tried to mount the shared folder with: mkdir -p /home/myusername/test I looked for this file into other directories but had no success.Īfter that I tried to install Virtualbox-guest-additions from repository as was advised on ubuntu forum: sudo apt-get update But /media directory is empty so I have nothing to do with it. What is advised and what I've already tried:ġ) In the VM's menu I found 'devices' submenu and clicked 'Insert Guest Additions CD image' option after which the CD icon in the status bar was lit and shows that the CD is inserted and the path to iso is C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (I checked that file really exists there).Ģ) In the same 'devices' VM's settings submenu I opened 'Shared Folder Settings' and added shared folder with name 'test' and path 'D:\test' which leads to the folder on my D: disk which contains test files.ģ) I reboot my Ubuntu VM and look into /media directory expecting to find /media/cdrom directory or something like this with file n in it, which should be run according to docs. In my case the host is Windows machine and guest is Ubuntu18.04 server machine. Go to the CD Driver and click install the exe file to bring up guest addition install wizard.Ħ.I've read docs and all questions about sharing folder from host machine to Virtualbox's guest machine and still can't get it working. Open Computer, you’ll see CD Driver marked as ‘VirtualBox Guest’.Ĥ. If you don’t see the Guest window menu, press right- Ctrl + C on keyboard.ģ. Boot up the Guest OS (Windows 7 in the case), and then go to menu Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image. Enable ‘Read-only’ if you DON’T want to add/edit the folder files in Guest.Ģ.Folder Name, auto generated after chosen folder.
Folder Path, choose a folder in the Host OS to share with.Click ‘Adds new shared folder’ button in the right.Navigate to Shared Folders in left pane.
In Virtualbox (6.0.8 in the case), open Settings of the Windows Guest OS. And this can be done via Shared Folder feature.ġ. One of the top things after installed a virtual machine via VirtualBox is how to transfer files between host OS and guest OS. This quick tutorial shows how to share a folder in Virtualbox Ubuntu host and get access within Windows virtual machine.
