With the host operating system I mean the operating system, where you installed the VirtualBox program itself. As the name implies, a shared folder enables file sharing between the host and the guest operating systems. VirtualBox comes with a feature called shared folders. In this article you’ll learn how to configure and mount a shared folder on your Linux based VirtualBox virtual machine. Once configured, you can easily exchange files between the host and guest OS. Inside your VirtualBox virtual machine you can then mount this shared folder.

I've read all the "install the guest additions" posts, and I have installed them several times, but I do wonder about the signature error.Ĭopy buffer sharing is working, EGL ES graphics is working, but shared folders are still not. "work" is the name of the share set in the machine settings, prior to booting the VM guest. I also tried entering the path to the share manually as: \\VBOXSVR\work Even the simplest log was greater than the 128KB size limit, so I cut off the Statistics at the end and included those in a separate file. When I try to manually add the shared folder in the guest, I get: The network path was not foundĪ log is attached. I finally got my Qt application running on the 3D acceleration, but shared folders are still not working. This was during the mouse driver inf installation, but the mouse integration seems to be working.

The guest additions are installed.Īlthough I do get some weird errors during guest additions installation, about "No signature found in subject". Yes, the guest additions, not the extension pack, not inserting but not running guest additions.
