  1. It turned out to be quite simple. Right click on the folder in the host that you want to share, then select Sharing Properties and give it a name where it asks (this is mandatory). Check the obvious boxes, save configuration, and bam! It is in your guest's network. Just open the file browser and see it in the left column by clicking on your host computer's name.
