Editing Setting Up Shared Folders (section)

==== Step 4:  Power Up the Linux Virtual Machine ====

After you have powered up the VM and logged in, open a terminal window and execute the command 'df'.  You should see something like the following:

<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
                      25336932   5328644  18714568  23% /
tmpfs                   251080        84    250996   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1               487652     54829    407223  12% /boot
/dev/sr0                 56892     56892         0 100% /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.3.30_101610
Dropbox              975922976 184014836 791908140  19% /media/sf_Dropbox
</syntaxhighlight>

where 'Dropbox' will be replaced by whatever shared folder name you chose above.  Note that the mount point will always be of the form /media/sf_XXXX for all of your shared folders.
