Accessing shared path in Virtual box
I have a PC with windows in it and Virtual Box with Manjaro i3. So now I went to shared folder in Virtual box and created a path.
I have installed youtube-dl and downloaded some playlist and so I need to transfer folder and files to my windows
I checked the manjaro documentation to install virtual box host modules by below command
pamac install virtualbox $(pacman -Qsq "^linux" | grep "^linux[0-9]*[-rt]*$" | awk '{print $1"-virtualbox-host-modules"}' ORS=' ')
Now I have rebooted as said in the documentation
Added my user to vbox group
sudo gpasswd -a $USER vboxusers Now run the below commands to start the service systemctl enable vboxservice systemctl start vboxservice groupadd vboxsf
After starting the service navigate to $cd /media and there you will find the shared folder.
Thanks
