Until the latest version of VirtualBox (1.4.1) released for Mac, there are still no support for the Host Interface networking option enabled yet. Moreover, you even could not see the NIC card got working on Mac OSX running in some Intel Machine (Jas 10.4.8) since it didn’t recognized properly with the built-in driver. So, is there anyway to get a simple networking between both OS? Sure it does. FYI, file transfer in a Shared Folders option allow you to access files of your Mac OSX system from within the Windows XP guest system, much like ordinary shares on Windows networks would – except that shared folders do not need a networking setup. Sharing is accomplished using a special service on the host and a file system driver for the guest, both of which are – fortunately – provided by VirtualBox.
This is a complete tutorial to show you how to share folders over the local network in Ubuntu. Option for guest access can be checked as well. I created a share with Nautilus’ Local Network share. The folder has been removed from the system but the share remains for all windows clients. Shared PC mode concepts. A Windows 10 PC in shared PC mode is designed to be management- and maintenance-free with high reliability. In shared PC mode, only one user can be signed in at a time.

In order to use this feature, the VirtualBox Guest Additions have to be installed in guest OS. Currently, shared Folders are limited to Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Linux 2.4 and 2.6 guests. To share a folder with a virtual machine in VirtualBox, you must specify the path of the folder to be shared on the host and chose a “ share name” that the guest can use to access it.
Then, you can mount the shared folder from inside a VM the same way as you would mount an ordinary network share. In Windows XP guest, use the following formula command: net use x: vboxsvr sharename While vboxsvr is a fixed name, replace “x:“ with the drive letter that you want to use for the share, and sharename with the share name specified before. To simplify this, I used to create a batch file which can executed manually to mount all of the 4 shared folder name (1 NTFS partition for Windows XP, 2 FAT32 partition for data & 1 HFS Mac OSX partition) specified before after the guest OS shows up. For example, named it with vboxsvr.bat and the picture below is the values: You can also create a link for the batch file & move it to on a someplace you like for example in a quick launch panel. To test the script, simply click the shortcut file until it processed completely. If it succeeded, the script will create new networking drives available assigned next to the drive letter defined before on the batch file.
However, I still don’t understand why it marked with Disconnected Network Drive label although files & folders on both OS is accessible as you may seen on ordinary full permission shared drives.

File Explorer in Windows 10 has everything you need to share your stuff with other kit and people on your home network. HomeGroup sharing was removed from Windows 10 in the April 2018 update. Don’t worry if you’ve been using it, your stuff’s still being shared, but you’ll have to use File Explorer to change the settings instead.
If your computers run Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then nothing’s changed. Your HomeGroup will work just like it has been.
You won’t be able to join it from a Windows 10 machine, but you’ll still be able to see the files. File permissions control what can happen to items you've shared. Usually, they'll be either 'Read' or 'Read/Write'. By default, Windows 10 shares files and folders in 'Read' mode. Users will be able to open them, but they can't save any changes to the original file.

To let others change a file, or add items to a shared folder, you'll have to give them permission. To change permissions for an item, follow steps 1-3 above. After you've added the name of the user or group, click the drop-down to change the permission level for that user to Read/Write before clicking Share. Open File Explorer (Win+E) and go to the file or folder you'd like to share. Right-click on the item, then move the cursor to Give access to: You'll see several options including 'view' and 'view and edit'. Click view to let group members see the file, or view and edit to let them change it.
You can also 'Remove access' to stop sharing an item. After you've chosen, anyone in the group will have access to it through the HomeGroup link in File Explorer. If you only want to share the item with one person instead of the whole group, pick their name or click Specific People.
The left-hand panel of File Explorer has shortcuts to Quick Access folders, as well as This PC so you can get to your stuff. Below these is where you'll find shared content, listed under 'Network' or 'HomeGroup'. Click Network to see which computers are sharing files and folders. As long as the computer's running, you'll see any network shares, no matter which user is logged in to the computer. Windows 7 & 8.1 users can click Homegroup to expand the list of members, and see what they're sharing.
You'll only see members that are currently logged on to a computer.
