This is a more secure way.Ĭonfiguration of NFS is very easy. If your guests are Microsoft products, you must install an NFS driver on them or use CIFS (Windows file sharing) which is implemented by samba on UNIX systems.Īnother way of sharing folders is available on modern Linux systems under Gnome or KDE: you can use SSHFS, which uses the SSH protocol to simulate a file system. NFS has the advantage of being easy to configure and the disadvantage that possibly insecure services are necessary. This allows you to use network file systems as NFS which are available on UNIX systems such as for example Solaris, the various BSD incarnation and Linux. In order to share folders you must use the “Host Interface” networking facility. This paper is also applicable for the binary version as another way of sharing folders between guest(s) and host. With the OSE version of VirtualBox you will not be able to use the Shared Folder facility offered by the version delivered as binary. In this example, it’s “/media/sf_share”.Sharing files between guest and host without VirtualBox shared folders After restart, the shared folder should be mounted to “/media/sf_”.
Check “Auto-mount” and “Make Permanent” options, then press OK.Ģ-6. Set the path and name for the folder you want to share.Ģ-4. Click on “Adds New Shared Folder” icon.Ģ-3. On “Settings” window, select “Shared Folders”.Ģ-2. Enabling Shared Folder (Automatic Mounting)Ģ-1. (* For some reason, dragging and dropping files to Linux guest is not working in my environment.)Ģ. Select “Bidirectional” for both “Shared Clipboard” and “Drag’n’Drop”. Select your Ubuntu guest and press ctrl + s to open “Settings” window.ġ-3. Please see here (step 4, 22-24) for the installation.ġ-2. To enable those functions, “VirtualBox Guest Additions” needs to be installed on the guest OS. In this post, I use Windows 10 as the host and Ubuntu Linux as the guest. This post shows how to enable clipboard sharing and file sharing via shared folder between VirtualBox guest OS and host OS.
