the gid, uid and umask options to mount). If you manually mount the shared folder, then you need to use the relevant options on the mount command to set the folder with the right ownership (i.e. You will need to reboot your VM for these changes to take effect ln -s /media/sf_Ubuntu /home/m/Desktop/vbox_shared If you want a 'better' link under your user's home directory, you could always create a symbolic link. In this specific case, this is the automounted Shared Folder, Ubuntu 214153212 31893804 182259408 15% /media/sf_UbuntuĪnd it is that directory that should be used to access to the Shared Folder, by putting the local user into the vboxsf group.
So you wouldn't worry about changing their permissions (which don't make sense on the Windows host), you just give yourself access. By adding your user to that group, you gain full access. # usermod -aG vboxsf īy default, without manual action, the mounts look like this, drwxrwx- 1 root vboxsf 40960 Oct 23 10:42 sf_ The regular way of getting access to the files now, is to allow VirtualBox to automount the shared folder (which will make it show up under /media/sf_directory_name) and then to add your regular Ubuntu user to the vboxsf group (as root #).
