I am using Ubuntu 22.04 and successfully shared folders in VMware. However, I find my mnt folder is empty. So, I use sudo mkdir /mnt/hgfs codes to make mnt have a folder named hgfs. However, the ghfs folded is still empty. What should I do to see the shared folders in Ubuntu?

  • Why should it be not empty? Why are you thinking that shared folders should appear in `/mnt`? – Pilot6 May 23 '22 at 11:10
  • @Pilot6 I see other's answers that the shared folder will be in `/mnt` – Y. zeng May 23 '22 at 11:11
  • Can you give a link to these "other's answers"? – Pilot6 May 23 '22 at 11:12

I had same problem so I run this command:

sudo vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs/ -o allow_other -o uid=1000

as explained in this link: How do I mount shared folders in Ubuntu using VMware tools?

After that i browsed the path /mnt/hgfs and I was able to access to my shared folder.
