However, every time I go into that dialogue, I get a message that "Guest Additions" are not installed and to therefor install them, which I've done what, 6, 7, 8 times? (Yes, I'm extremely frustrated. I created this share through the "Browse for Folder" dialogue in the VM, and the host machine was listed there as was the proper drive on the host machine ("E:") and proper folder on that drive ("share").
At this minute, under "Settings/Shared Folders" in the virtual machine, I've got a share named "Share" pointing to "E:\Share", which is supposed to be a drive/folder on the host machine. Again, been there, done that, but I maybe completely misunderstand what's going on. But as I said, my Novell experiences are probably a millstone around my neck. I pretty much manage to read after I've found the material I need to read. Pointing me to the answer in the user guide (wherever/whatever that is - remember I'm somewhat blind) might be good enough to get the answer. I will add I tried to search for the answer to this question to no avail - I really don't know what keywords to search for.
Can anyone either tell me how to do this very simple thing or direct me to a source that can tell me how to do this? The VirtualBox VM’s aren’t really all that useful if files can not be transferred to/from the host system. And I’m even willing to go the other way: Mount VirtualBox folders as drive letters on the host system.
(Both the host system and the VirtualBox VM's are running Windows 7 at this time.) After spending literally days trying to figure out how to do this and reading innumerable web pages that weren’t helpful, I’ve reached the point where I’m giving up trying to find out how to do this on my own. And I want to do a very simple and non-esoteric thing, namely mount folders on the host system as (presumably) drive letters in the VirtualBox VM’s. I apologize in advance for my apparent stupidity, but I have multiple disabilities including semi-blindness that make my life rather difficult.
