2. Set Shared Folders

After the restart, click "devices"-> allocate data space menu to add a shared folder. The fixed and temporary options refer to whether the folder is persistent. Share names can be any one you like, such as ubuntu. Try to use an English name.

3. Mount Shared Folders

Re-enter virtual
Ubuntu

In the command line terminal, enter:

Sudo mkdir/mnt/shared

Sudo Mount-T vboxsf Ubuntu/mnt/shared

"Ubuntu" is the name of the previously created shared folder. OK, now
Ubuntu

And the host can transfer files.

If you do not want to manually mount each time, you can add

Ubuntu/mnt/shared vboxsf RW, gid = 100, uid = 1000, auto 0 0

This enables automatic mounting.

4. Run the following command to uninstall the SDK:

Sudo umount-F/mnt/shared

Note:

The name of the shared folder must not be the same as that of the mount point. For example, the above mount point is/mnt/shared. if the name of the shared folder is also shared, the following error message will appear during mounting (see
Http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2265

):

/Sbin/mount. vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol Error

 

Mount shared folder error/sbin/mount. vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: no such device
. This error occurs because the kernel module vboxvfs is not loaded.

If/sbin/mount. vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: no such device is prompted


It may be that the kernel module vboxvfs is not loaded. check it first:
Lsmod | grep vboxvfs
If no result is returned, vboxvfs is not loaded and executed.
Modprobe vboxvfs


Run lsmod | grep vboxvfs. You can see that vboxvfs and vboxadd have been loaded. Then re-mount
Mount-T vboxsf share/mnt/share
Normally, shared folders should be accessible.
Ls/mnt/share
