Win 10 Host/Kubuntu guest – not able to make shared folders

Dear All

My next issue is that I am not able to share a folder with Windows 10 Host. I obeyed these instructions: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Player-for-Windows/16.0/com.vmware.player.win.using.do...

After instruction 10, which I obeyed, it said: “View the shared folder. On Linux guests, shared folders appear under /mnt/hgfs.” However, inside folder “mnt” there is no other entry. I looked at other folders, but alas nothing.

I have installed the tools via this command: “sudo install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop”. And checked it is working with this command: “systemctl status vmtoolsd”.

Any help appreciated, hope and wait to hear
