Shared folders physically reside on the host and are then shared with the guest, which uses a special file system driver in the Guest Additions to talk to the host. Oracle VM VirtualBox includes experimental support for Mac OS X and OS/2 guests. Shared folders are supported with Windows or later, Linux, and Oracle Solaris guests. This is similar to how you would use network shares in Windows networks, except that shared folders do not require networking, only the Guest Additions. With the shared folders feature of Oracle VM VirtualBox, you can access files of your host system from within the guest system.
