Guest Additions

Shared Folders

Shared folders physically reside on the host and are then shared with the guest,

which uses a special file system driver in the Guest Additions to talk to the host.

Host Setting

• Permanent shares, that are saved with the VM settings.
• Transient shares, that are added at runtime and disappear when the VM is powered off.

For Windows guests, shared folders are implemented as a pseudo-network redirector.

# While "vboxsvr" is a fixed name

net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename

For Linux and Oracle Solaris guests, the Guest Additions provide a virtual file system.

mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint
