Virtualbox how to set up a shared folder

gistfile1.txt

1. Make sure you have guest addons installed.
for example : "c:\www\dev"
2. On host, select the share you want to share and remember what it's called. Its real path does not matter! So let's say your share is called dev.
3. Launch virtual machine guest. In terminal, type:

$ cd /mnt
$ sudo mkdir shares
$ sudo mount -t vboxsf dev shares

And that's it. Don't worry about the absolute paths. You don't need them. For all practical purposes, VB will take care of the real path behind the share name, in this case Dedoimedo.

See if this works out for you.
