In this guide, we will install VirtualBox on Linux Mint. Guest VMs can also directly communicate with each other if configured to do so. The host OS and guest OSs and applications can communicate with each other through a number of mechanisms including a common clipboard and a virtualized network facility. The user can independently configure each VM and run it under a choice of software-based virtualization or hardware assisted virtualization if the underlying host hardware supports this. Each guest can be started, paused and stopped independently within its own virtual machine (VM). VirtualBox users can load multiple guest OSes under a single host operating-system (host OS). There are also ports to FreeBSD and Genode. It has versions for all modern operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Solaris and OpenSolaris. VirtualBox is one of the conventional solutions for creating a virtual machine. Created by Innotek GmbH, it was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, which was, in turn, acquired by Oracle in 2010. It is a universal way to enable a shared folder and it should work for all distributions.Oracle VM VirtualBox (formerly Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and Innotek VirtualBox) is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor for x86 virtualization, developed by Oracle Corporation. If you use some other distributions as a guest, look at the instructions for Debian.
So, I will show you the settings for Arch Linux, Linux Mint and Debian as guest systems.
In this tutorial, my host system is Arch Linux, but the host system does not matter in this case because we will do all the setting in the guest systems. Change the user permission for the shared folder.Install guest additions for your guest system.
There are several essential steps you need to follow, to enable a shared folder between the real machine (host) and the virtual machine (guest): I will also show a universal way that should work for any Linux guest distribution. So, I will show you how to enable a shared folder in Virtualbox for Debian, Linux Mint/Ubuntu, and Arch Linux as guest systems. However, configuring the Virtualbox to share files between your main system and the system you installed in a VirtualBox is not trivial. VirtualBox is a very useful tool to install operating systems inside the main system.
