How to share files between Host and Guest in Virtual Box

With the “shared folders” feature of Virtual Box, you can access files of your host system from within the guest system. This is similar how you would use network shares in Windows networks — except that shared folders do not need require networking, only the Guest Additions. Shared Folders are supported with Windows (2000 or newer), Linux and Solaris guests.

Shared folders must physically reside on the host and are then shared with the guest, which uses a special file system driver in the Guest Addition to talk to the host.

To share a host folder with a virtual machine in Virtual Box, you must specify the path of that folder and choose for it a “share name” that the guest can use to access it. Hence, first create the shared folder on the host; then, within the guest, connect to it.
