I am trying to get a shared folder between a VM and a guest machine. So far tried virtualbox, I know this should be able to do it however I can't seem to get it to install the additional components, many errors and many days spent trying to resolve them. Tried VMware and QEMU but neither of these allow sharing between a linux host and your native Windows guest. Any others?
VM that can share a linux OS?

Seems VMware player needs the correct distro, Ubuntu and a couple of others to allow for shared folders, made some progress after installing an Ubuntu distro, now have option within VMware to allow for shared folder(on other distro it was greyed out). Still don't have a shared folder in /mnt/htfs(I think that's right), but will keep working on it. VMware workstation is about £250.
If I connect to my WiFi USB adapter(on the host PC) - right click and connect - then my WiFi is disconnected on my PC. Everything looks good in the VM's Linux OS however. If I try to connect to the internet in the VM's OS it does appear to be trying to connect but just stays at the resolving part.
If it disconnected my host PC's internet then how does it know which WiFi SSID to connect too and the password etc.
