Sharing a folder in Ubuntu 14 running on Oracle Virtual Box with Windows 8.1

The below video explains how to create a shared folder in Oracle Virtual Box to share files between Ubuntu14 and Windows 8, where Ubuntu14 is running inside Oracle Virtual Box.




The command to use in Ubuntu is:

sudo mount -t vboxsf  virtualbox_shared /home/byorn/mywork


/home/byorn/mywork is the working folder in Ubuntu,
and all the files you create in this folder will be accessible to the shared folder created in Oracle Virtual Box, the shared name given as virtualbox_shared
