Step2. set the shared directory:
For example, choose VM> Settings> Options> shared folders.


 

Click "add" in the lower-right corner of the dialog box and click "Next"
In the text box "name", enter the name of the shared directory. Here, I share two folders in Windows 7. One is the English name and the other is the Chinese name.

In "host path", click "Browse", select the shared directory, and click "Next ". After clicking "Next", you do not need to change anything on the displayed interface. Click "finish" directly ".

Here enable this share refers to the long-term validity of the sharing, and the directory can be read and written; read-only refers to the long-term validity of the sharing, and the directory is read-only.

Step3. view the shared directory in Ubuntu
Enter the following command
CD/mnt/HGFS
Ls
