I installed Ubuntu guest on a Windows 7 machine using VirtualBox. How can share folders between Ubuntu guest and Windows host? Thanks.

Best Answer

If you get Permission denied when accessing the mounted shared folder, run the following command:

sudo adduser <yourUsername> vboxsf

Substitute <yourUsername> by your actual username (e.g. john or whichever is yours).

Then restart and you should have full access.
