To confirm the change, use get: sudo VBoxControl guestproperty get /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/SharedFolders/MountDir Sudo VBoxControl guestproperty set /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/SharedFolders/MountDir /home/toto/ use the following command to set the VirtualBox shared folder guestproperty: For example, to change the mount point from /media/sf_. The command is installed when Guest Additions is installed. You can change where the folder is mounted by using the VBoxControl command. This is done by changing the vboxsf line in the /etc/group file. You can access the share by making the user, or group id of 1000, a member of group vboxsf. The default mount location is in /media/sf_. The issue becomes that the mount point may not be where desired, and the permissions are root only. In the Linux guest, the mount command should show a line that the share was mounted. Make sure VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed in the VirtualBox guest. Use the VirtualBox host's application, VirtualBox Manager, to specify host folders to share.
Note that changing file permissions changes them not only for the virtual computer, but for the real one too! Therefore, the method described above cannot be considered ideal.For VirtualBox with a Linux guest, these are the steps to mount a shared folder: This command will create and modify new files and directories in the shared folder: The only way to make the folder readable was by changing the access rights to it with chmod.
I tried to change the owner of the folder and its contents using chown:īut this did not work either - the owner of this folder was still root. SHARE_NAME /PATH/TO/POINT/MOUNT vboxsf gid=141ĐĐīut both of these methods did not work in my case.
Or add a line like this to the /etc/fstab file: Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o 'uid=1000,gid=141' SHARE_NAME /PATH/TO/POINT/MOUNT The vboxsf filesystem has uid= and gid= mount options, you can try them with commands like:
