VirtualBox shared folder write permission - Ubuntu 12.04
I'm using the following command to mount my folder in VirtualBox:
sudo \mount -t vboxsf -o rw -o uid=1000 -o gid=1000 Dropbox ~/Dropbox/
However, the folder is read-only. I re-installed Guest additions, and made sure the folder is not set as read-only in VirtualBox.
What's the right command to gain write permissions?
Solution 1:
The right command is:
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmode=755,fmode=644 Dropbox ~/Dropbox/
Notice the fmode.
