Navigate to ‘My Network Places -> Entire Network -> VirtualBox Shared Folders’ and open the shared folder you configured above.In Windows Explorer, open the ‘Folders’ side panel.Set the Folder Path to the folder you created above, note the Folder Name if you don’t change it, and make sure the share is not marked as read-only.Under ‘Shared Folders’, click the ‘Add Shared Folder’ button.With the WinXP VM powered off, open up it’s settings form the VirtualBox main console (right-click -> Settings).Create a folder on the host machine to serve as the VM’s network share (all mine are under ~/VirtualBox/Shares).this way all the files on that mapped drive are stored on the file system of the host machine and can be backed up separately from the large virtual hard drive. To avoid this, I’ve set up a shared folder in the VirtualBox VM configuration, and in the VM I’ve mapped the share to a network drive. I want my work to be backed up by my host machine’s backup software, but the 10GB virtual hard drives wreck havoc as the whole thing needs to be uploaded every time a single file on the virtual machine changes. I’ve set up a Windows XP virtual machine in VirtualBox to do.
