VirtualBox shared folder Windows 10 host, Ubuntu guest


Didaufen

I'm using Virtual Box 6.0.14, Windows 10 version 1903 and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

I'm trying to set a shared folder as my guest OS in Ubuntu, but for some reason I can't

I have installed Virtual Box's Guest Additions, Virtual Box Extension Pack and still nothing...

This is what I'm doing:

enter image description here

I've restarted my computer, but the shared folder doesn't appear.. what am I doing wrong?

I have solved it.. it was a very stupid mistake.. I didn't install "guest additions" properly . I have a similar message for this:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 5.2.12 Guest Additions for Linux........
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Copying additional installer modules ...
Installing additional modules ...
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the gcc make perl packages from your distribution.
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until the system is restarted
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Starting.
Press Return to close this window...

So all I have to do is run the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc make perl dkms
reboot

Install "Guest Additions" again

and go through the normal process of sharing a folder again.. if it's a full drive it doesn't matter
