I recently installed Virtualbox on a new computer that is running Windows 7 but for the life of me I cannot figure out why my shared folder is not updating correctly.
I have installed Guest Additions. Went to /media/folder and the shared directory was working yesterday and updating but within 24 hours anything I add to the shared folder is not working. In virtualbox I did setup Shared Folder and set it to Auto-Mount yes with full access. Where am I going wrong?
