VirtualBox: Use the shared folders between Linux and Windows Virtual

Many of you will use VirtualBox to run Windows in their beloved Linux.

And, of course, many of you will have had the need to transfer data from your Linux machine to Windows virtualized.

VirtualBox is already predisposed to support shared folders.

You can add a shared folder in several ways:

the settings of your virtual machine (if the virtual machine is off)

From the Devices menu> Shared Folder or dall'iconcina shaped folder at the bottom right (if the machines are running virtual)

• Either way you will have access to a form where you can add a shared folder simply by selecting the folder you want to share from your linux system and the name of that share.

Well, the bulk is done.

Now the question is: "How do

from windows to access this folder?

"

Press the start menu> run and type

:

net use x: \\ \\ vboxsvr \\ nome_cartella_condivisa

careful to replace

nome_cartella_condivisa with the share name entered in the previous step.

Now from Windows Explorer you will see a new drive marked by the letter X: (if you want you can change that letter modifying the command given above) and you can copy and put files.
