          You need to configure shared folders, it is in the virtual box configuration tool. I don't know if you have to do anything to enable this on the MS-Windows host. On a Linux host you have to add user to group vboxusers (this is only needed to enable shared folders, and nothing else).



          You may need to restart the virtual machine, to get the share to work.
