This happens on the host. In the guest you can then use the share name to connect to it and access files. In the window of a running VM, you select Shared Folders from the Devices menu, or click on the folder icon on the status bar in the bottom right corner.
If a VM is not currently running, you can configure shared folders in the virtual machine's Settings dialog. From the command line, you can create shared folders using VBoxManage , as follows:.
See Section 7. Transient shares, that are added at runtime and disappear when the VM is powered off. These can be created using a checkbox in the VirtualBox Manager, or by using the --transient option of the VBoxManage sharedfolder add command.
Shared folders can either be read-write or read-only. This means that the guest is either allowed to both read and write, or just read files on the host. By default, shared folders are read-write. Read-only folders can be created using a checkbox in the VirtualBox Manager, or with the --readonly option of the VBoxManage sharedfolder add command. Oracle VM VirtualBox shared folders also support symbolic links, also called symlinks , under the following conditions:. The host operating system must support symlinks.
I ejected the Windows ISO in the hopes it would free the drive and let me install the tools. After a crushing defeat, I began searching for a new solution on the VMware forums. They were experiencing the exact same issue as I was.
After combing through replies, I managed to figure out the solution to my problem. The option to install VMware tools should no longer be grayed out.
Click on it to begin the VMware installation. You will also see a new tab at the bottom of the screen prompting you to install the tools.
Hopefully, this helped you fix your installation just as it did for me. Good to find a non-enterprise user of VMware. Several years ago I considered getting up to speed on it but VMware reportedly laid off the development staff of Workstation or Player, or whatever they call it this week :. Say, what do they call it now and what version is it? Is the free version hard to find and are there any significant limitations compared to Virtualbox or KVM?
TIA, Mike. I prefer VirtualBox simply because it works well with any distro. Yet, when it works and one does whatever is necessary, I find VMware to have a more polished look and feel.
Because VirtualBox is dead. It hardly receives any development resources, is stuck on the x86 platform no support for ARM for instance and is quite buggy compared to VMWare. No more. These days the most important and most valuable product of Oracle is VirtualBox! Thank you. This article helped me. Then the option to install VMware Tools was not grey! Got my VMware tools installed and was then able to use the features such as sharing a drive with my VM.
Thanks for the tip of adding a CD drive. I never realized this before because all my other VM hosts had CD drives. May cause an issue with the IDE device configured as a slave. Thank you very much! Much appreciated! I have an OS X Mavericks Unity is greyed out. This has, so far, defeated VMware support.
Thanks a lot! And I struggled a lot for accessing shared drive inside guest. I had the same problem in Vmware Workstation pro The guest os being windows 7 x32 bit. Tried all the above methods. They didnot work. Then after much research found this page:. Name: VMware-Tools-windows The vmware tools exe was seen inside the guest os and installation was as usual.
I think it was one such attempt. Worst of all it worked. Thank you very much. Thanks sir, I was worried. I must say that I think that the effort required to install is ridiculous. I could not find any decent information on the web explaining how to install the tools the method is completely obscure , or even how to verify they were installed.
If you want the VMware share files to be accessible to your login user and also be owned by your login user, then mount the VMware share with the uid and gid mount options as follows:. As you can see, the VMware share files and directories are now accessible to my login user and also owned by my login user. In that case, run the following command:. Thanks for reading this article. I was born in Bangladesh. Then, go to the Options tab and click on Shared Folders.
We would like to thank Fabian Arrotin and Thomas Oulevey for their work on the build infrastructure. That's probably dependent on the host OS if it supports filesystem events , not on the Vagrant images themselves. Try to specify explicitly whether polling should be used or not.
It's probably best to report such regressions to the VirtualBox developers, after searching their bug tracker and forums if the problem isn't already known. In this case, it was already reported and there's even a test build of the Guest Additions containing the fix. Your email address will not be published.
