Shared Folder Configuration on VMware Fusion, Linux

  1. Create hgfs directory under /mnt.
mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs
  1. Edit /etc/fstab and restart the system.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).
# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
