Thanks that’s very helpful. After guest addition is installed, my fedora adapts to full screen of my computer.

you have to add yourself to the vboxsf group in order to mount the windows shared folder
use
usermod -a -G vboxsf ahmad
to add user ahmad to the secondary group vboxsf

then you can mount the shared folder in linux
sudo mount -t vboxsf sharedFolder ./shared

Thanks, it worked almost like a charm on my CentOS 7 server environment. CentOS mounts the ./vboxshared folder as /media/sf_vboxshared. But it works as long as you use the under CentOS created foldername sf_vboxshared name as foldername in the Device->Shared Folder Settings.

VirtualBox-guest is available in rpmfusion. You can just enable it as described here:

http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

and do a yum install VirtualBox-guest afterwards.

By far the best procedure I’ve found. Worked the first time with a new Fedora xfce install, smooth as can be. Now I can learn the Fedora RPM way of doing things without losing my main Mint based on Ubuntu tagging along with Debian that finally freed me from Windows. Way too much fun for a coot my age. Thanks!

It worked perfectly on a new install of Fedora Mint and Xfce
