You can see in the left folder sf_Compiler and in the top right how I configured in VirtualBox settings and bottom right the folders that I should be seeing in my VM which are present in the host.

Instructions are from here: https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:StanfordOnline+SOE.YCSCS1+3T2020/7b74698308574f3c89d2ed498f26a019/

VM for the Stanford compiler course on Edx.

What else do I need to do to see all my host folders in the VM?

I tried clicking Insert Guest Additions CD from Device menu but it doesn't do anything.

I'm also unable to cd into that directory from terminal in the VM

compilers@compilers-vm:/media$ cd sf_Compiler
bash: cd: sf_Compiler: Permission denied
compilers@compilers-vm:/media$

I tried sudo cd as well.

switch to root and try navingating into the folder sf_Compiler – Alex Dec 29 '22 at 07:23
That worked @Alex. `sudo su` got into root then I could cd there and see all my folders. But why can't I see it without switching to root? – mLstudent33 Dec 29 '22 at 11:07
Probably cause of the permissions it was mounted with. – Alex Dec 29 '22 at 11:38
