Reboot the system (the VM), and then turn it off for the next step.įrom the Host system, create the shared folder and select it from the virtual machine settings: Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms Upload the list of packages apt-get update Open a terminal and acquire root rights with: sudo su Inside the Linux virtual machine (Ubuntu) Step 1 – Install Virtual Box Guest Additions In case you have to use Linux as Guest system, things get complicated, and you need an additional step, let’s go through it. In this way each time you start the Guest, you will find the folder mounted ‘on the network’, which refers to that of the physical system. In this case it will be enough to create a shared folder with auto- mounting, and have installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. To do this, if you use Windows as Guest (in the VM), there are no problems. If more info is needed I'll be happy to send it, but since the problem can be easily worked around this is no big issue to me.If you are using VirtualBox frequently, you will have found yourself in the situation of having to move files from the Host machine (the main system) to the Guest machine (the emulated system). Uninstalled the GuestAdditions altogether (via Configuration -> Software -> Uninstall, reinstalled GuestAdditions 1.6.2 and the connectivity with the shared folders was restored. This resulted in the loss of connectivity with the shared folders. Upgraded GuestAdditions 1.6.2 -> 1.6.4 (but just by installing it over 1.6.2, so not removing/uninstalling the older version the appropriate way.)

Installing Guest Additions 1.6.2 solved the problem. I read the instructions carefully and followed it using the GUI and the command line but Nothing appeared under VirtualBox Shared Folders.
I understand that the shared folders would show up there. In the guest, windows explorer, under “My Networking Places” > “Entire Network” > “ VirtualBox Shared Folders”, there is Nothing. I used the GUI and also tried VboxManage and 'Net' commands in the host and guest.
