virtualbox - guest OS Manjaro - how to automount shared folder

Question

I have a virtualbox set up on my Windows 10 machine. Also I have the guest additions installed.

I have install a Guest OS Linux - Manjaro XFCE Edition (17.0.2).

I want to auto-mount the shared folder.

How to do it? It seems the normal methods in found on search did not work. Or should it be done by a script to be loaded at start?

Can someone help?

PS: I am a beginner in Linux

Thanks in advance

Solution

In host OS:

Setup shared folder like this: (replace with your username)

In guest OS:

Add:

mount -t vboxsf <Name of shared folder> <Path to where you want to find the folder>

to /etc/init.d/boot.local

Example:

mount -t vboxsf Shared_Folder /home/<username>/Shared_Folder/
