If you are using your own personal machine, you will need to configure VirtualBox to look in the right place for your shared files. First, click on the guest machine you intend to share files with. From there, you can select the guest Settings and navigate to Shared Folders on the left side menu. To create a new shared folder, either click the New Folder icon on the right menu or right-click the empty list of shared folders and click Add Shared Folder.
From here, there are six options:. On the course virtual machines, when you load into the desktop, you should see a folder labelled SharedFolders. In there, you will see any folders that are currently mounted and being shared. If you only need to transfer a few files quickly, you can simply drag and drop the files in. This means that you will be able to drag files from the host to the guest and from the guest to the host.
Once bidirectional drag and drop is checked, you should be able to begin dragging and dropping files. NOTE: Sometimes when dragging files into the course VM , you may not be able to drag them into the file browser directly. If you encounter this issue, you should drag your files onto the Desktop and move the files around from there. You should see the cursor change when it is ready to drop files. You can also drag files from the guest machine into the host.
To do this, simply open the file browser on the host to where you would like to drop the files and drag the files from the virtual machine into the file browser of the host.
File transfers should be pretty quick; if the virtual machine seems stuck when transferring, simply cancel the transfer and try again. NextCloud offers you all of your SCS storage in one remote location, similar to how you might use other file hosting services like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Before trying to use NextCloud, you should check that you can access the service by logging in here. If you can access the NextCloud services, you can browse the various file storage services available to you:. The snapshot will be in the same state as if the VM had been power cycled or crashed at the point in time when the snapshot was made. While usually safe, it could cause problems if the running applications running at the time were not crash resistant.
This method is only recommended for VMs with a single OS disk. VMs with one or more data disks should be stopped before download or before creating a snapshot for the OS disk and each data disk. The expiration time is increased from the default to provide enough time to download the large VHD file for a Windows Server operating system. Large VHDs can take up to several hours to download depending on your connection and the size of the VM.

You can also right-click "Copy" on the physical computer and right-click "Paste" in the guest OS. A VMware transfer window will be displayed and another will be displayed by the guest OS.
To do this, open the settings of the virtual machine and go to the "Shared Folders" section and select the desired option :. Click Browse to select the folder you want to share and make available to the virtual machine.
Then, enter the name under which this share will appear in the guest OS. Enable sharing by checking the "Enable this share" box and check the "Read-only" box if you want this share to be read only. If you don't check the "Map as a network drive In order to access it, you will have to go through the network option but you will probably encounter a network discovery disabled by default error.
