In my OS X virtual box install, the XP VM I have installed isn't showing the shared folders I have attempted to create repeatedly.

Is there any way to get it to work?

Thanks!
 
Would it be in Network Places or under 'View Workgroup Computers?'. I thought it linked them through the internal networking of VBox?
 
Shared Folders do not work out of the box and requires a change to the start-up shell script to work properly.You will need to edit a file as root or via sudo to correct the problem.
1. Open a terminal session and get the uid from the id command
2. sudo nano -w /Library/Application Support/VMware Tools/services.sh
3. Edit the line
mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ '/Volumes/Shared Folders'
to
mount -t vmhgfs -o uid=<XXX> .host:/ '/Volumes/Shared Folders'

where XXX is the uid to be used for the guest user.
4. sudo '/Library/Application Support/VMware Tools/services.sh' &#8211;restart
