Huzzah! The shared folder is great for transferring files from Windows 10 to the Ubuntu virtual machine and vice versa. Step 7) Change directory into the shared folder and see all the shared files. Shared was the name of the Windows 10 shared folder, and I called the Ubuntu shared folder, ~/shared-windows10, to differentiate between the two. Open File Explorer on the virtual machine. sudo mount -t vboxsf shared ~/shared-windows10 Click the Adds new shared folder Enter the shared folder path. We mount the shared folder on Windows 10 to the ~/shared-windows10 folder. You make a directory on the Ubuntu virtual machine that will act as Ubuntu’s shared folder. Step 6) Create a shared folder on Ubuntu virtual machine and mount the shared folder. I checked off Read-only, Auto-mount, and Make Permanent. Step 5) Click on the Devices tab and click Shared Folder Settings… and integrate the Windows 10 shared folder.Ĭlick on the Folder Path list and find your shared folder on Windows 10. In addition, assuming adequate permissions are granted on the shared folder, the guest is also able to transfer files onto the host by copying them into the shared folder.
#Virtualbox shared folder install#
Now, we can install and run the Guest Additions CD. VirtualBox Shared Folders allow files residing on the host system to be accessed by guest operating systems running in virtual machines.
sudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) We should install necessary packages if they have not already been installed. Mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only Now, we can mount the Guest Additions CD to the /media/cdrom folder. The Guest Additions CD contains a file system type that we need to use. We make a directory to mount the Guest Additions CD. Step 4) Open up a terminal and install the Guest Additions CD. Go to Devices tab and click Insert Guest Additions CD image… What this allows you to do is share a folder between a host (the machine running VirtualBox) and a guest (the virtual machine). Step 3) Boot your Ubuntu virtual machine. Step 2) Make sure that you have an empty optical drive for your virtual machine. I’ll put a bunch of stuff inside the shared folder to be used by the Ubuntu virtual machine. I’ll create a folder called shared on my Windows 10 Desktop.
Step 1) Make a folder to be shared on your Windows 10 host operating system. If you are using the Vagrant VirtualBox provider, then VirtualBox shared folders are the default synced folder type.
I’m assuming that you have installed the Ubuntu virtual machine already and ready to set up the shared folder. Now, I want to be able to share folders from my Ubuntu to Windows 10 and vice versa.
#Virtualbox shared folder 64 Bit#
One of my virtual machines has Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit operating system. I have a Windows 10 laptop, and I am running VirtualBox.
