I have imported a Windows 7 virtual machine into Oracle VirtualBox 5.0.6 running on Windows 7. I have installed guest additions and logged in as Administrator. I have created a automount shared folder called downloads pointing to C:\Users\JDoe\Downloads. When I issue the following command:
net use x: \\vboxsrv\downloads
I get system error 53 and the mounting process fails.
Why am I getting this error and how can I mount my shared folder?
As suggested below I have also tried using the IP address in place of vboxsrv as follows:
net use x: \\192.168.1.80\downloads
or
net use x: \\192.168.56.1\downloads
In both cases I am asked for a username and password, and I have no idea where to get these from. As the only username and password I have is the Windows 7 Administrator username and password, I have tried these, but get system error 86 when I try these and the error message says that the specified network password is invalid.
How should I proceed?

Well, at least VBoxManage knows it exists, but not able to tell Windows 10???

Windows file manager:
* network lists local machine, but not \\vboxsvr
* Map drives does not find it either.Hard Reboot just to be sure
Windows file manager:

Have to type everything in because the clipboard is not working either although set to bi-directional.
4 days at this. searched google, Oracle, Virturalbox.org, and too many more to discover that no one with this combination has this exact problem.
Or if they did and did what I did above, and it worked for them but usually on older Ubuntu and older Window combinations.
At wits end,Hope someone can see what I have missed while been staring at this for days

Re: net use Z: \\vboxsvr\vb-share; System error 53 network path not found
Guest additions installed?
I suspect «vboxsvr» is a placeholder. Put the real hostname there and try again.Lastly, google «virtualbox manual» to find the manual for how to do this.
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch…#sharedfolders Appears you’ve found that.I’ve never used linux as the hostOS with vbox. Sorry. I can say that KVM-qemu flies with Windows as a guest when the spice protocol is used.

Re: net use Z: \\vboxsvr\vb-share; System error 53 network path not found
I don’t fully understand what you are doing as I prefer KVM. Maybe just switch the network to bridged mode inside Virtualbox then create a regular samba share and map it like that? Then for all purposes it’s just another machine on the lan and you can work with it as such.

Hi,
I have been searching Google and the forums and have found several people with similar problems, but none of the suggested solutions has solved it for me, so I post this.
I am running Windows XP Professional SP2 on a Debian Lenny 5.0.1 host. I have installed Guest Additions, shared a directory on the host, and yet when I type:
net use x: \\vboxsvr\xpshare
I get:
System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found.
«xpshare» is definitely the correct share name. Also, nothing relevant shows up in «My Network Places». When I had first installed Guest Additions, I noticed that the VirtualBox service was not running according to the Services applet in Control Panel. I started it manually and now it is running on every boot; still nothing. As far as I can tell, vboxsvr is not a valid host to the XP guest. I also unblocked «File and Printer sharing» in the Windows Firewall, thinking that might have to do something with it, but nothing. I have tried sharing the directory in the host OS both via VBoxManage and the GUI; no difference. Any ideas? I’d appreciate any help
Я импортировал виртуальную машину Windows 7 в Oracle VirtualBox 5.0.6 под управлением Windows 7. Я установил гостевые дополнения и вошел в систему как администратор. Я создал общую папку с автоматическим подключением, которая называется downloads и указывает на C:\Users\JDoe\Downloads. Когда я выдаю следующую команду:
net use x: \\vboxsrv\downloads
Я получаю системную ошибку 53, и процесс установки не удается.
Почему я получаю эту ошибку и как мне смонтировать мою общую папку?
Как предлагается ниже, я также попытался использовать IP-адрес вместо vboxsrv следующим образом:
net use x: \\192.168.1.80\downloads
или же
net use x: \\192.168.56.1\downloads
В обоих случаях меня спрашивают имя пользователя и пароль, и я понятия не имею, где их взять. Поскольку у меня есть только имя пользователя и пароль, это имя пользователя и пароль администратора Windows 7, я пробовал их, но при попытке получить системную ошибку 86, а в сообщении об ошибке указывается, что указанный сетевой пароль недействителен.
Как мне поступить?
