Due to my switch to Mac OS I started to use more and more virtual machines using VirtualBox. Recently I wanted to share some files between my host and Linux guest system. The route to take was VirtualBox’s shared folder feature. Setting up the shared folder was pretty easy, however when I wanted to access it I ran into some permission issues.
So I checked the folder permissions and found out that only root and the group vboxsf have access to this folder.
In order to solve my small access problem I just joint the vboxsf club 😉
Afterwards my access problems to the shared folder due to restrictive permissions were solved. You might have to logout and login again before the changes take effect.
