I created an entry under VirtualBox Ubuntu 20.04 VM Settings -> Shared Folders and completed the Folder Path to a valid Windows(host) location, the Folder Name (called shared) and checked Auto-mount and Make Permanent. Ubuntushare is the name of folder we add in VirtualBox Devices section this folder is in Windows(Host OS).I followed (among other related threads) in order to mount a shared folder in my Ubuntu 20.04 VM. Run this command to share the folder: $ sudo mount -t vboxsf Ubuntushare ~/Desktop/windowsshare With your mountpoint created you can now mount the shared folder.


Run this to create a directory in Ubuntu $ sudo mkdir ~/Desktop/windowsshare When done with you shared folder(s) specification, we mount folder from Ubuntu(Guest OS).Ĭreate a mountpoint, this a directory in Ubuntu that will share files with the shared folder from Windows. From Virtual menu go to Devices->Shared Folders then add a new folder in the list, this folder should be the one in windows which you want to share with Ubuntu(Guest OS).Įxample -> Make a folder on Desktop with name Ubuntushare and add this folder. SORT command in Linux/Unix with examplesĬreate a shared folder.
