In the past, I've managed to get the virtual box shared folder via the command on trusty and xenial boxes.

$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils

But now on the bionic version - the packages does not even exist yet.

So my question is, how do we share the folder on ubuntu 18.04?

  • You probably just need to run sudo apt-get update first. If that doesn't help, please [edit] the question to include the full error message. – wjandrea Aug 22 '18 at 16:57

virtualbox-guest-utils exists on bionic in the multiverse repo. Simply ensure you have this repository enabled.

om:~$ apt policy virtualbox-guest-utils
