Share File between Mac Os X and Ubuntu

You’ll need the latest version of VirtualBox with Guest Additions installed in Ubuntu. With the Virtual Machine powered off and selected in VirtualBox, go to: Machine > Settings… > Shared Folders For “Folder Path”, click the icon to browse for the folder you want to share. For “Folder Name”, enter a name to describe the share. Click “OK” and start the virtual machine again. (not necessary) Create a mount point which is basically an empty folder. Fire up the terminal and type: sudo mount -t vboxsf folder_name path_to_mount_point folder_name is the name you typed in earlier to describe the share Wohoo! You should be able to browse the shared folder now. Mental note: do not choose the same names for the folders (IDIOT!)
