Click next, and you should see this screen: The name field will become part of the mounted path in Ubuntu, so name it something short and to the point. Click the Add button, and you will be presented with a wizard. From here you can modify the shared folders. I’ve been a happy user of Virtual Box for most of my desktop needs over the past years. In VMware Workstation, go to the VM Settings window and then click on the Options tab.
