You can view shared folders in certain Windows and Linux guest operating systems. The guest operating system determines how shared folders appear. The shared folders can be in your Mac file system or they can be network directories accessible from your Mac. To use shared folders, you must configure your virtual machine settings to enable shared folders and to specify which directories on your Mac are to be shared. Mirrored folders match key folders in the virtual machine with their corresponding Mac folders: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. You can mirror folders in your Windows virtual machine and in your Mac.
In the Sharing panel of a virtual machine's Settings window, you can select shared folders on your Mac to make available to the virtual machine. You can set up shared folders in guest operating systems to share files between your Mac and your Windows and other virtual machines.
