Virtual Box- How to share files between original pc and virtual box [tut] - ThE-iNFiLTrATOr - Sep 18, 2010
In your original PC create a New Folder and name it anything. I named this folder nexus
Start virtual box click on devices and then Install Guest Additions.
Spoiler (Click to View)
After completing the installation again click on devices then Shared Folders.
Spoiler (Click to View)
A window will open, click on the sign add shared folder
Spoiler (Click to View)
Now you have to set the path click on other
Spoiler (Click to View)
Then browse to the folder you created on your original PC. I named it nexus as you can see in the image. Then click on ok.
Spoiler (Click to View)
Check the box make permanent if you want that folder to be linked to your virtual box permanently. Click on ok.
Spoiler (Click to View)
Then right click on My Computer, (in the virtual box not in your original pc) then click on Map Network Drive.
Under folder field write \\vboxsvr\name of your folder. In my case the folder name was nexus thats why its written \\vboxsvr\nexus
Check the box Reconnect at logon if you don't want to follow this step every time you start the virtual box.
If you will leave it unchecked you will have to follow this step every time you start the virtual box to share files etc..

Now suppose you want to transfer an image from your original pc to the virtual box.
For that you will have to copy the image in the shared folder . In my case the shared folder name was nexus
Spoiler (Click to View)
Then in the virtual box you can find that image in Z drive

In this way you can share files etc. from your original pc to the virtual box and from the virtual box to original pc also
