Even though it lacks some advanced features when compared to VMware Workstation Pro , it’s still very capable, and meets the requirements of most individuals. Okay, now that the introductions are over, lets proceed to sharing folders between our guest Ubuntu OS and the host machine. The first step would be to install the “vmware tools” on your Ubuntu Virtual Machine, if you haven’t already.

After that, power down the guest machine and go to its settings. Then navigate to the “Shared Folders” section to begin adding the folder you wish to share with your Ubuntu virtual machine. A wizard will pop up when you click the “Add Leave rest of the things that you come across on the wizard as they are. When you are done with the wizard, the folder you chose would get listed in the “Folders” list.

Then, you can click on the “OK” button and boot up the virtual machine. As an extra note, if you’re wondering what hgfs means, it’s an acronym for Host Guest File System.

Note: If for some reason the ls command doesn’t show you anything, it could mean that the “vmware tools” are not installed. Luckily we don’t need to do anything more now. No special permissions or anything are needed to have access to the shared folder. Though completely optional, we’ll proceed to making a symbolic link to the shared folder on our home directory, for ease of access.
