Share files between host and VM (without network)

[Sensiva]

Hello

Is there a way to share files between host and VM (specially Windows VMs) without implementing network related solutions?

Like in Oracle Virtualbox where I can specify in the guest configuration a path of a directory in the host filesystem and have it mounted inside the VM in read/write.

I searched the forum for an answer, but all I found were solutions based on sharing files over network, which isn't applicable for VMs that don't even have network adapters and can't have any.

Thanks in advance

A VM can have only a virtual network adapter, and this is possible in every case. Note that such a virtual adapter neither has to be bridged together with a physical one nor it's necessary to route it's traffic to any other network.

Thank you for your reply.
So you are saying I can create a network share bound to virtual interface (let's say vmbr6) and bridge a Windows VM virtual interface to vmbr6.
Am I correct?
