[SOLVED] How do I file-share between LL guest & LL host in Oracle Virtualbox?

[m654321]

@torreydale & @wirezfreeze...

Many thanks to you both - I have now got host LL & guest LL 'talking' to each other through /media/sf_ [name of directory].

One difficulty was that Host already had its directories (Documents, Downloads, Music etc...) symlinked to a separate data partition (shared with Win8.1).
When I tried to link them all collectively with Guest under Shared Folders in the Virtual Box Manager as /home/mike, they would  appear with double crosses when I opened File System (under File Manager) on Guest. 

However I got round this problem by linking the directories individually under Shared Folders in Virtual Box Manager, i.e. as /home/mike/Documents; /home/mike/Downloads; home/mike/Music; etc...  It works just fine now so I will mark this thread as SOLVED.

However,  is there a way of making /media/sf_ [name of directory] more accessible in Guest, rather than having to go through the File Manager each time? Maybe I could mount them collectively in a folder on the Desktop - how do I do that?

Many thanks again for your help guys.

Cheers
Mike
