Select Window > Virtual Machine Library.

2

Select a virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library window and click Settings.

3

Under Systems Settings in the Settings window, click Sharing.

4

Select the Enable Shared Folders check box.

This action enables shared folders. It also enables mirrored folders for supported Windows guest operating systems. On Windows and macOS virtual machines, a VMware Shared Folders shortcut is created on the guest operating system. Click on the shortcut to view the shared folders.
