Sending files from and to Virtualbox images

In VmWare, transferring a file from host to guest was a simple as dragging it from your explorer onto the VmWare screen.

"Run Windows Explorer in a Windows 7 VirtualBox machine.

Type the following into the address bar to access the shared folder:

\\vboxsvr\<Shared Folder Name>

For a more permanent solution create a new shortcut with the same target.

Of course you'll have to change 'shared' to the name of your shared folder, it just happened to be the name I chose."
