Fusion12.1.1 - Mac Big Sur 11.2.3 - CentOS Linux 7:Failed to share folders between VM and Mac

Settings

- Fusion 12.1.1

- Mac Big Sur Version 11.2.3

- CentOS Linux 7

 

Issue

- Failed to share folder with Mac.

- The folder /mnt/hgfs/ is empty on starting the virtual machine.

- Similar issue: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/Shared-folders-no-longer-showing-up-in-g...

 

Current workaround

- I am using the same solution posted in https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Discussions/Shared-folders-no-longer-showing-up-in-g... . Running the command `vmhgfs-fuse` seems to fix the issue properly.

 

Question

- Seeing that I'm on the latest fusion 12 + latest VMWare tools, I am wondering if there is a better way to fix this at the moment.

Thank you for having a look!
