I have a bunch of virtual Windows machines in VirtualBox
If I make a shared folder of the Ubuntu root folder, I will get access to both USB drives, as well as the user folder, etc from the VM's. I also want to have write access from the VM's. But is this dangerous? Or a little bit risky? I usually don't bother to install any antivirus or anything on the VM's. Could a virus on the VM potentially start messing with my Ubuntu system files?
Is it maybe better to have seperate shared folders? One of the user folder, one of media
, etc?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.
