When you click the "+", you'll need to locate the "My Transfer Folder", select it, and press the Add button.
Click the "+" to add "My Transfer Folder". On the right will be a two-column browser.Select File Sharing checkbox and then select that entire row:.GO into the HOST's SHARING preferences:.Use the Apple > Preferences menu command to open the Host computer's preferences:.Create a folder on the Host, preferably in an accessible directory like "Documents".Here are the one-time steps to create the shared folder: Once you follow these steps and set this up, you won't have to do this again. What happens in the guest is this : there is indeed a `/media/sf_downloads` directory present as it should, but Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view ls /media/sf_downloads returns an empty result, when there are actually several files in the host `Downloads` directory.The purpose of a creating a shared folder is to transfer documents between your Mac running Catalina (HOST) and the VirtualBox virtual machine (GUEST) running Mojave versions of Screenwriter 6.5 and/or Dramatica Story Expert 5.3. So, after rebooting my guest, my Shared Folder should now be ready to use, right ? In the VirtualBox "Shared Folders" menu dialog, I have also defined one item, with "Access" set to "Full", "AutoMount" to "Yes" and left the "At" field blank. I have also successfully installed Guest Additions (in the guest shell, the command Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view lsmod |grep vboxguest returns Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view vboxguest 45056 7 vboxsf which is of the expected form). I have a working Ubuntu 22.04 LTS guest on my Mojave 10.14.6 Mac host. Today, with a newer MacOS and a more recent Ubuntu, I am encountering similar but distinct problems, and the older (and useful) advice I got here no longer seems to apply, hence this new topic. Four years ago, I had trouble with Guest additions & Shared Folders an Ubuntu guest on my High Sierra Mac, and I asked around a dozen of topics about this issues in this forum.
