How to make shared folder in VirtualBox guest - Ubuntu

There is no need to mount the guest additions ISO and install from it if your guest OS is Ubuntu.
Instead, open a terminal and enter the following

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils

Now when you have the guest additions installed, use the VirtualBox menu:

Devices > Shared Folders...

Add the path, name and enable "Auto-mount" and "Make permanent" options.

Finally add your user to the group with:

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -G vboxsf -a myusername

Logout and back again or reboot the machine to complete the process
