Then just click return and the drive should show. Obviously you need to replace YOUR SHARED FOLDER NAME with whatever the name of your shared folder is, in my case the entry looked like this: \\vboxsvr\Virtual_Shared Now for the bit none of the documentation tells you! Choose a drive letter for the shared drive but instead of browsing for the drive (as you would normally) you need to enter this in the folder field: \\vboxsvr\YOUR SHARED FOLDER NAME Now in Vista, open Computer from the start menu and click the ‘Map network drive’ button. I added this under both Transient and Machine folders. Now start your guest machine (Vista in this instance) and choose Devices from the VirtualBox top bar menu.Ĭhoose ‘Shared Folders…’ and click the plus button on the right of the resultant window and browse to the shared folder you just made. Here’s how to make it happen.įirstly, create a shared folder on your OSX machine (right-click on the folder you want to share/see in Vista choose ‘Get Info’ from the menu and then tick ‘Shared Folder’)
Navigate to and select the folder you need to share.
Select the Virtual Machine (VM) for which you wish to share the folder and click Settings. I was having trouble viewing a shared folder from the host operating system (Mac OSX in my case) on the guest operating system (Vista). Create a folder you want to share on your Operating System.
