ĭrwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 May 21 14:14 looks like system service mnt-hgfs.mount is not yet running on your machine. See the screenshot below for more details.ĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 04:02. In my case, the command vmware-hgfsclient was aware of the shared folder, but the directory /mnt/ was empty, and there was no /mnt/hgfs/. On the guest VM, look for the shared folder in directory /mnt/hgfs/my-shared-folder/, but it didn't work as described in the post.In context 'VMware Workstation > VM > Settings > Options > Shared Folders', configure the intended folder as 'Always enabled'.So, I tried the settings on both VMware Workstation Pro and VMware Player, and the results were the same, not working. This YouTube video was about VMware Player. Please let me know if you need more details, and I highly appreciate any hints or suggestions.Ī little more details about the settings:

I configured a shared folder in the context of VM > Settings however, it does not show up in the guest virtual machine's directory of /mnt/.

I am testing VMware Workstation Pro 16 on Windows 10, and the guest is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with VMware Tools installed.
