Optionally select the Make permanent option. When I try to mount my shared folder on my Ubuntu virtual machine, I get this error: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: shared folder /home/john/shared was not found (check VM settings / spelling) I have installed these packages: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential linux-headers-uname -r. Go to virtualbox > settings > USB > add usb device connected to your computer. Boot the Guest operating system in VirtualBox. With a shared folder named share, as above, the folder can be mounted as the directory /host with the command sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uidUID,gid(id -g) share /host. In my tests (Debian 8) only the root had rights. Create a folder on the Host computer (ubuntu) that you would like to share, for example /share. Optionally select the 'Make permanent' option Prepare the folder.

After installing the Guest Additions ( LINK) you can use Shared Folders between the host and the guest.įor this you have to add Folders in the „Machines Settings“ and then the section „Shared Folders“įor mounting them in the Guest Debian System you have to use following command: mount -t vboxsf sharename mountpointīefore you mount them you should create the target folder by using mkdir (if not you will get the same error like you can see it here: mount -t vboxsf Downloads /tmp/Downloads We are all set at the Linux client so next all we need is to setup shared folder on the Windows Host and Oracle Virtual Box.
