Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I just installed Drupalpro on my new Macbook Pro and promptly messed up the shared folders. I am able to save files on the host OS to the folder and see them in Drupalpro. But I can't save files in Drupalpro to the shared folder. I get permission denied. Any ideas on how to restore?
Thanks,
Mickey

I'm sure a little time with a good search engine should have the answer...
However, here's the help I can offer. First, ensure you've updated your Guest Additions to match the version of VirtualBox you're running. In short, it should be as easy as:
Once Guest Additions have been updated, follow the directions in Drupalpro for setting up shared folders:

But I also saw this post from Quickstart - http://drupal.org/node/907636 - and then found the 2-vbox-quest-additions.sh script in the setup_scripts folder of Drupalpro, so was wondering if there was a way to just run part of the setup scripts instead.
I've got it running now though. Thanks for your response.

to answer:
in short, it wouldn't help in this situation, unless you just ran the script to install guest additions which in this case would update them. but it is possible.

I could not even open the Shared Folder. I found my answer to the Permission Denied problem here:

Basically, I needed to add the "drupalpro" user to the vboxsf group. In terminal I ran the command below and then restarted.
usermod -aG vboxsf drupalpro
