Now for the bit none of the documentation tells you! Choose a drive letter for the shared drive but instead of browsing for the drive (as you would normally) you need to enter this in the folder field: \\vboxsvr\YOUR SHARED FOLDER NAME Now in Vista, open Computer from the start menu and click the ‘Map network drive’ button. I added this under both Transient and Machine folders. Now start your guest machine (Vista in this instance) and choose Devices from the VirtualBox top bar menu.Ĭhoose ‘Shared Folders…’ and click the plus button on the right of the resultant window and browse to the shared folder you just made. Here’s how to make it happen.įirstly, create a shared folder on your OSX machine (right-click on the folder you want to share/see in Vista choose ‘Get Info’ from the menu and then tick ‘Shared Folder’) I was having trouble viewing a shared folder from the host operating system (Mac OSX in my case) on the guest operating system (Vista).
