Re: Accessing Host Files (aka: sharing folders with virtual machin

The point of the folder sharing is for when the virtual server is in an
isolated virtual network and therefore cannot be reached via UNC. For
example, if you clone a production server for testing, that virtual server
cannot participate on the production network and must be isolated.

Very common, very significant.
