My host machine is a mac (and I have a folder on the mac I want to share) withmy Windows Virtual Box using WSL

Windows sees the folder no problem. If I typenet use at the command line I see the folderC:\Users\claudio>net useNew connections will be remembered.

Status Local Remote Network


         Y:        \\VBoxSvr\claudio         VirtualBox Shared Folders

The command completed successfully.

If I go to the WSL shell and type:

net.exe useI can also see the folder.

C:\Users\claudio>net useNew connections will be remembered.

Status Local Remote Network


         Y:        \\VBoxSvr\claudio         VirtualBox Shared Folders

The command completed successfully.

However, from WSL I cannot browse to the folder locationas I would usually do on a Linux system:cd /mnt/y

The only drive I see is c.

Thanks,Claudio

Doing:sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ysudo mount -t drvfs '\VboxSrv\claudio' /mnt/yas someone suggested doesn't work.

I now see the drive y but not the specific folder (I suspect this is because the file system of the folder is a mac one)
