Solution 1

VMWare tools are not yet supported for Android, you can have a look on the guest os support matrix on the VMware website.

But you could always make a network share on your host and then get android to connect to it

Solution 2

You could put your files on a flash drive and then disconnect it from host and connect it to the guest android OS.

Solution 3

for file sharing with your host and guest machine first try to connect your android vm to internet then download AirDroid from google play ,now you can easily download and upload to your android vmware machine

I installed Android-x86 in a VMware virtual machine under Windows 7.

Is there a way to install VMWare tools in this Android-x86 VM to share files between this machine and the host? If yes, how?

Are you affiliated with the developer of this app? This looks like spam.

VM Ware does not support USB forwarding without VMware tools installed. So it is impossible to connect flash drive to android guest.
