Vmware shared folder not working in ubuntu 13.10
I upgraded 13.04 to 13.10 and was having the same "can't access shared folders" problem.
Edit:
Found the solution Here.
I had actually previously tried this, but in my previous attempts I was installing Vmware tools 9.2 from a previous version of Vmware.
I re-untarred the Vmware tools from the mounted CD Player
| Manage
| Re-install VMWare Tools...
applied the patch, and ran the installer script in my case: ~/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
.
I had to modify the fix.sh
file in the link to point to my paths but once I did that, shared folders started working.

I installed Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit in Vmware workstation 10 but the shared folder is not working in Ubuntu 13.10,while it works perfectly in Ubuntu 13.04.
I reinstalled Vmware tools several times but it doesn't work.
All other features like drag and drop is working.
Any ideas how to get it working?
