How to set up shared folders in VMWare Mac OS?

[Daniel Peebles]

I don't see any mention of shared folders in the readme except under the virtualbox section.

These templates were originally written for building Vagrant boxes, and Vagrant's already able to manage shared folders with different VM providers. Vagrant will always set up a default "synced folder" and by default does this using the VM provider's shared folder system.

So, there's no explicit addition of shared folders in the templates, but if you had specific ones you wanted to set up, they could be added with provider-specific commands (adding VMX values, VBoxManage commands, etc).

The reason shared folders are mentioned in the VirtualBox section is because with OS X guests, there are no VBox tools provided, and thus no shared folders possible. Vagrant can instead use NFS or Rsync as a synced folder backend if needed.
