Share folders between windows and ubuntu in Virtualbox [duplicate]
Solution 1:
In Windows, go to "Computer", "Network", then choose "VBOXSRV". You will see your shared folder there. If not, then maybe you did not make the folder permanent and rebooted Windows in the meanwhile.
Solution 2:
This is described in the manual here. The command to map a drive in the XP guest is:
net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename
Or you can map a drive using the windows tools. The 'server' name is always vboxsvr
