Share VBox Folder With Linux

First you need to create a Transient or Machine Folder within VirtualBox "Settings > Shared Folders" for the specific VM you would like to enable shared folders for. Make sure to remember the name of the folder, for our example we'll use the name "temp" pointing to "c:\temp". Next, from within the linux OS command line you would create a mount point and mount it as so $ mkdir /mnt/temp $ sudo mount -t vboxsf temp /mnt/temp Once you are done sharing files you can unmount the folder by doing the following: $ sudo umount /mnt/temp
