How do I share files between Linux and Windows VirtualBox?

OK, here are my detailed steps using Alvin Sim’s Option 1.

  1. Before starting your Guest.
  2. Go to VirtualBox Manager.
  3. Select your interested Guest.
  4. Go to Guest Settings.
  5. In Guest Settings, scroll the left side-menu, and go to Shared Folders.
  6. In Shared Folders, add your interested folder in the Host machine.

Where does VirtualBox mount shared?

The default mount location is in /media/sf_ . You can access the share by making the user, or group id of 1000 , a member of group vboxsf . This is done by changing the vboxsf line in the /etc/group file.
