Annotation: When adding, if you report an error, please try to restart the virtual system (Linux OS)

  1. Enter the Linux system terminal and mount VBOXADDITIONS_xx_xx.iso to the specified location /media/cdrom, as follows:

    Sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

If you do not specify the mount point /media/cdrom error, then execute mkdir /media/cdrom to create the folder.
Then start the run command:

Sudo /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Second, set up a shared folder. Go to VirtualBox "Settings" -> "Shared Folder" as shown below:

Third, mount the shared file, the following command:

Sudo mount -t vboxsf ShareFile (shared file name) /mnt/shared

Congratulation! You can see the shared folder under at the /mnt/shared

@animalcontrol is a spam bot run by @fulltimegeek as part of his flag campaign against users who speak out against him.

This is his way of having a little hissy fit because we refuse to believe the Earth is flat.

Free speech?!?! Nah, not unless you believe the Earth is flat or hosts elevator using aliens!! Right, @fulltimegeek?
