VirtualBox shared folders are owned by root in Lubuntu guest
On Ubuntu Server host execute these commands :
sudo chmod -R 777 /path-to-shared-folder/shared-folder
sudo chown -R user1:user1 /path-to-shared-folder/shared-folder
On Lubuntu Desktop guest execute this command :
sudo usermod -G vboxsf -a user2
Restart the guest system for changes taking effect.
Note : user1
= your host user name | user2
= your guest user name
No need to change main group of user - add user into group is sufficient:
sudo adduser myuser vboxsf
It is not necessary to change the permissions on the host system, just easily mount the shared folder for the normal user:
sudo mount -t vboxsf folder share -o uid=1000,gid=1000
1000
is the default ID of the default user. This can be checked by id username
