Fedora VirtualBox Shared Folders Permissions
I have my Laptop with Windows 7 and am running Fedora in VirtualBox and have setup my data partition as a shared folder. I mounted it, but the permissions for folders such as (My) Documents, (My) Pictures, Videos, etc are messed up.
I have read only access, I am not sure if this is a permissions problem in Fedora or Windows. I tried chmod 777 on the folder and it has no effect. It appears like the folders with whacked permissions are the ones I set up as locations for Windows Libraries. How can I fix this?

Re: Fedora VirtualBox Shared Folders Permissions
Hi mpg,
Did you give right permission for the "Shared Folder" from Virtual Box?
If you set it read-only from VirtualBox, then it will only readable to Fedora and no more than that.
Try to give them full access permission if you haven't...
Good luck...

Re: Fedora VirtualBox Shared Folders Permissions
No I didn't make it read only. Other folders work fine, but not the "Libraries..."
