unable to access shared folders in virtualbox using windows 7

2 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/unable-to-access-shared-folders-in-virtualbox-using-windows-7.110254/

Hi,

I have installed Windows 7 beta in virtualbox(2.1.4) on a Windows XP Home PC.

Host OS - Windows XP Home
Guest OS - Windows 7 beta

On the guest OS I can do everything except access the HOST OS. I have installed the guest editions also. But somehow cannot access the XP from Windows 7.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Have you configured the shared folders? I dont understand why you cant access either...

If not, connect them through an internal network and try sharing folders via the network.
