How to solve share-folder problem?

Also, you should install Guest Additions first.

1. Create a folder named vbox-temp(or other name) in Windows 7 in which you want to share something(file, software and so on) between host and guest systems:
   From the VirtualBox’s menu –> Devices –> Shared Folders

2. Create a folder named vbox-share(or other name) in guest system(Ubuntu, Mint …) in which you want to see the files you shared in host system

   sudo mkdir /home/zfan/vbox-share

3. Connect the share folder in host system and guest system(In this example: vbox-temp in host and vbox-share in guest)

   sudo mount -t vboxsf vbox-temp /home/zfan/vbox-share

4. If you don’t want to do step 3 every time you start your guest(Ubuntu, Mint…), you can add this command to /etc/rc.local file before exit 0 line in guest nix(Linux kernal) systems

   sudo vi /etc/rc.local

   Then, modify rc.local like:

   ...sudo mount -t vboxsf vbox-temp /home/zfan/vbox-shareexit 0...
