Using Shared Folders

Shared folders are folders in the host computer operating system that are visible to the guest OS too. These folders can be used for exchanging files between the host computer operating system 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 .
