    Step-by-step from Enable the shared folder

    • Enable a Shared Folder for a Virtual Machine
      (Guest Operating Systems That Support Shared Folders: Linux with a kernel version of 2.6 or later)
      You can use this command to get the Linux kernel version:
      uname -r
    • Issue: /mnt/hgfs does not get mounted after reboots for shared folders
      If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the Shared Folders feature from the interface.
      For resolving the issue permanently, edit /etc/fstab and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot. For example, add the line:
      vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0
      ➡ The above setting still has error during booting. (Please take snapshot before modifying /etc/fstab.)

      Before you do that, you might want to check that things are setup correctly. Try running the following:
      sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs/
      sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs/ -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other

      or
      sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/SharedFolderName /MountPoint -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other,nonempty
      SharedFolderName: The name that is set in VMware (Option–>Shared Folder), e.g., projects
      MountPoint: Mounting location assigned to the shared folder, e.g., opt/bitnami/projects
