Install Guest Additions_use Shared Folders

Let’s assume that we have Linux as a guest OS.

1. Install Guest Additions…

2. There will appear disk called like “VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.10_76836”. Copy content of the disk to another folder like this.

# mkdir /root/Desktop/addition

# cp /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.10_76836  /root/Desktop/addition

# cd  /root/Desktop/addition

# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

It will install guest additions.

Now reboot the system.
