You could use 9p sharing as described at http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/9p_virtio .
Other possibilities include usage of a network file system like NFS or CIFS/Samba.

For some time now, I've been using
virt-managerto manage my virtual machines. When I want to copy a file from the host to the vm, I have been usingscpto copy viasshover the network. This is kind of tedious, and there must be a way to share a folder similar to VirtualBox. So how can I best share a folder between a KVM host and guest using virt-manager? -
Kat Amsterdam almost 8 yearsUnfortunately the instructions you linked to don't work in Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu doesn't recognize the 9p filesystem with the mount command and needs the 9mount command which I still have not got to work.
