Working in a Virtual Machine 101
Using Shared Folders
Shared folders are folders in the primary operating system that are visible to the guest OS too.
These folders can be used for exchanging files between the primary OS and a virtual machine or
between several virtual machines.
In the primary OS shared folders appear as usual folders, while in the guest OS they are objects
of the network neighborhood.
Using shared folders is possible for the Windows and Linux guest operating systems. See the list
of supported guest operating systems (p. 54).
