If people forward the sharing invitation, only people who already have access to the item will be able to use the link. Specific people gives access only to the people you specify, although other people may already have access. Use this if you just want to send a link to somebody who already has access.
People with existing access can be used by people who already have access to the document or folder. People in with the link gives anyone in your organization who has the link access to the file, whether they receive it directly from you or forwarded from someone else. The Shared Folders in an Arch guest stopped working via Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager in Dec 2018, 6.0.0 release ( if you are using 6, I dont know about other versions ). This may include people outside of your organization. For example, they may choose to disable the Anyone option to prevent usable links being forwarded to others outside your organization.Īnyone gives access to anyone who receives this link, whether they receive it directly from you or forwarded from someone else. Hence guest users have to be member of that group to have read/write access or to have read-only access in case the folder is not mapped writable. : If a sharing option has been greyed out, your organization's admins may have restricted them. Note: Access to auto-mounted shared folders is only granted to the user group vboxsf, which is created by the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer. This is because the Host OS (Windows) doesn’t support the same permission system as Linux, so VirtualBox has no way of knowing who should own the files. So you wouldn’t worry about changing their permissions (which don’t make sense on the Windows host), you just give yourself access. By adding your user to that group, you gain full access. The regular way of getting access to the files now, is to allow VirtualBox to automount the shared folder (which will make it show up under /media/sf_directory_name) and then to add your regular Ubuntu user to the vboxsf group. There was above all a lack of clear instructions about how to just get this done, and move on with the rest of your day.Ĭonfigure the shared folder to be auto-mounted (it’s a setting on the Shared Folder configuration in VirtualBox itself). One of the critical “settings” in such a situation is the setting up of a “shared-folder” in which you can transfer files between the windows host and the Ubuntu-Mate guest.
Sometimes you may need to run Ubuntu-Mate in a VirtualBox virtual machine, for example at your place of work.
