Virtualbox - Sharing Folders with the correct permissions

# Add current user to vboxsf group in Ubuntu guest OS

sudo usermod -aG vboxsf $USER

#You can access the share by making the user, or group id of 1000, a member of group vboxsf.

#This is done by changing the vboxsf line in the /etc/group file. May require reboot.

#File permission issues with shared folders under Virtual Box (Ubuntu Guest, Windows Host)

# add the following lines to .bashrc

mkdir -p ~/host/share

sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/host/share
