Also as the mounting is done by the root user, restarting the machine will not have it auto-mounted as chosen in the settings. And the folder will have to be remounted by the root each time the VM restarts. Sharing the folder from the host OS will make it always available to the VM giving full permissions to everyone and then setting up 'Guest Additions' of the VM setup from the 'Device' sub-menu and then adding the 'shared folder' in the 'Shared Folders' tab of the VM settings. This would enable the sharing on the network, without needing the folder to be mounted each time. Perhaps the 'Guest Additions' is enabling network resource access, which then enables the 'auto-mount'.

[@sachinsingh333]

Excellent I am able to mount the files and access it from VM.........other option of bi-directional option with drag and drop option is not working............after mounting I am able to access files

[@sumaiyah6123]

Thank you for the video. I found after auto mount check box, extra text box. what to fill in that? Please let me know. and without that it is not allowing me to click OK button. Please help.

[@RayAvijeet]

So what's the difference between auto-mount and making permanent ? Pls elaborate and make clear.

[@aadityaprasade4342]

Is it necessary to use the mount command even after we ticked out auto-mount when saving the file 6:25

[@syedabdulbasit4466]

Please can you tell me that:
how to show guest folder in host computer?

[@samimaftabahmed962]

working fantastic. the automount feature in VBOX is such a crap. It only allows access via terminal as a root. neither chmod nor chown works in that case. using your method it alllows access from UI too, but i didn't see any device in /media folder before implementing your method. Am i missing something?

[@lavishsidhu2334]

Umount is showing device is busy , not able to umount any alternative

[@nazneenshaikh8745]

I am getting this is error message:
[root@quickstart cloudera]# mount -t vboxsf shared /home/cloudera/Deskop/shared
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory
Please could you guide me where am i getting wrong :)

[@abhishekmundada4291]

If anybody doesnt know password by default password in cloudera is : cloudera

[@hammadakram7561]

i will try this technique but at last step i found error "/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error
" any one help me to reslove this issue

[@xmark2]

go to VM Devices -> Shared folders ->Shared folder Settings and make sure you use the same folder name as in the following command (in the video it was just projects)
so mount -t vboxsf myfolder /home/cloudera/workspace/myfolder
I hope this helps.

[@rajasekhar1972]

thanks, i was struggling to understand the error till i realized that it was because i was using different folder names

[@shrutiagnihotri5312]

I am using exact command still m getting the same error.
