I have tried a number things, including re-installing Guest Additions and verifying the presence of Guest Additions, but the folders do not appear. I just got a Windows 10 VM running but I am unable to see the host folders in Windows Explorer. After declaring them in settings (with the VM off), they just appear. The log for the VM list both packages.Ġ0:00:08.397977 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Interface = 0x00010004 osType = 0x0003B100 (Windows 10, 64-bit)Ġ0:00:01.438842 SUP: Opened VBo圎hciR0.r0 (/usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.amd64/VBo圎hciR0.r0) at 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.Ġ0:00:01.029422 Installed Extension Packs:Ġ0:00:01.029441 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 6.0.24 r139119 VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP)įor several years now, I have had no difficulty accessing the shared folders (drives) on the host in the Windows 7 VM. To make your folder easier to access, you can map that shortcut to a network drive in your virtual machine.I have what I believe to be the correct (and same) versions of the Extension Pack and Guest Additions (VBoxGuestAdditions_6.0.24.iso) installed for VMs running Windows 7 and 10 on the same platform and from the same Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. shared_folder_name is the name of the folder you shared in VirtualBox.
To access shared folders, you have to type in the following in your address bar:ĭon’t use your host’s name instead of vboxsvr you have to say vboxsvr. The problem with Windows 7 on VirtualBox is that even if you specify shared folders, there’s no obvious way to access them from the virtual machine. This is different from having a folder shared over the network: anyone on your network can see network shares, but only your VirtualBox instance can see vbox shared folders. VirtualBox allows you to specify “shared folders,” which are folders located on your host that your virtual machine can see.
