How do I move files between virtual machines?
Q I use two virtual machines and have been trying to work out a way of transferring files between them. Maybe it’s not possible. But if anyone knows, it’ll be Computeractive. Any advice?

A We’re assuming you’re using VirtualBox 7.1 or later (www.virtualbox.org). You’ll also need to install the Guest Additions package on both virtual machines, which adds extra drivers and functionality, including support for transferring files in several different ways. To do this, click the Devices menu while each virtual machine (VM) is running and choose ‘Insert Guest Additions CD image’ to run the installer.
