Hi,
Known issue... for a while too.
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/11.3/rn/VMware-Tools-1130-Release-Notes.html
VMware Tools Issues in VMware Workstation or Fusion
Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM. If the Shared Folders feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, the shared folders mount is not available on restart.
Note: This issue is applicable to VMware Tools running on Workstation and Fusion.
Workaround:
If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the Shared Folders feature from the interface. For resolving the issue permanently, edit /etc/fstab and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot.
For example, add the line:
vmhgfs-fuse /mnt/hgfs fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0
Before you do that, you might want to check that things are setup correctly. Try running the following:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs/ sudo /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs/ -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other
