I want to configure 1 shared folder /home/host/shared
and put symlinks to other shared items in that shared
directory to make them accessible by the guest machine like /home/host/shared/d1 --> /home/host/a_linked_dir
. This is so that I can modify the files & directories as I use the VM without having to change the config in Virtualbox and so that multiple VMs can easily be configured to use a single shared folder. However, putting s symlink /home/guest/shared/link --> /home/host/shared/f1
doesn't allow the guest machine to access the linked directory and instead just points to a target non-existent on the guest machine.
Is there a way to use symlinks between the host & guest VMs in Virtualbox?
