I have a Windows 7 installed on my laptop. I installed VirtualBox 4.1.4 with Ubuntu 11.10.
Now I want to be able to copy files from Windows to Ubuntu and vice versa.
What is the easiest method to accomplish this ?

Sharing files from Windows with Ubuntu as a guest OS can be done via "Shared Folders" that can be mounted or auto-mounted in the guest OS. Alternatively, we can also setup a network share via Samba. |

You could just use Ubuntu One. There are Ubuntu (installed by default) and Windows clients available, so you can sync files between them easily with an Internet connection. I use this to keep both my Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 partitions on my laptop in sync with each other and my 11.10 desktop. |

Do this thing 1.After installing the virtual box you can setup the shared folder which will be available for your windows 7 host as a normal folder but for ubuntu11.10 it will be mounted at /media/sf_name_of_your_shared_folder. 2.This folder will be accessible only through the root account(to open it type sudo nautilus /media/ and then open it from ubuntu. |
