One guide is here Īlso, in new virtual box - 4.3.20 I guess, they have this new feature of drag and drop where you can just drag files and folders to your virtual machine just by dragging. If any issue, just comment here and I will tell you alternative methods.Īlso, if all of this sounds too geeky, you can do the same thing using the graphical tools. Now you shall be able to access that folder. vboxsf is the group name that you want your user to be inĪ reboot, or a logout, may be required for changes to take affect.Īfter this operation you can verify that your user is indeed in the vboxsf group by doing this: cat /etc/group | grep "vboxsf".-G means you will supply the group name now.usermod - the command to change the user properties.sudo - because you need root permission.Start your terminal and write the following line: sudo usermod -aG vboxsf mat
What you need is to add your user "mat" to the same group. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the 'vbox.log', not 'vbox.log.1', etc. In the 'Logs' subfolder, zip the VMs 'vbox.log', and post the zip file, using the forums Upload Attachment tab. Also the root has permission to that folder because its in the group "vboxsf". Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox windows VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. This group "vboxsf" is the group which has read/write permissions to that folder. The issue is that your user "mat" is not in the same group as "vboxsf".
