I ran the autorun.sh script there:Īnd Linux went to work building and installing the guest additions. So in the Linux guest I chose to Insert Guest Additions from the Vbox menu, then I right clicked the guest additions CD icon on the Linux desktop and chose to open it in a terminal. I am running Malwarebytes premium, could it be a firewall issue with Windows 10, or is Malwarebytes perhaps preventing a shared folder? I did install the guest encrypted, and installed Linux with an encrypted home folder- I thought that might have caused issues so I installed a second Linux guest but without encryption except for an encrypted home folder, but the issue remains (no shared folder visible in Linux). I am puzzled why I can not get a shared folder, pretty much mandatory for my needs otherwise the guest Linux is useless to me.


I have done what I just described perhaps a dozen times before in the past few years, with success (shared folder visible), I have set up virtualbox on windows and Linux hosts, and had both windows and linux guests, so I feel pretty comfortable installing a host and guest. When I start (run) the guest Linux, the shared folder is nowhere to be found. use Linux for image editing, writing projects. In the settings for Linux Mint I set up a shared folder to a data drive so that I could e.g. Yesterday I installed Virtualbox (5.2.4r119785) on my Windows 10 圆4 host, then downloaded and installed the latest version of Guest Additions, then installed Linux Mint Mate 64bit as a guest.
