Directory Sharing not working, though SPICE Guest Tools are installed successfully #3583

Which directory are you sharing? Can you share the debug log? Which version of UTM are you using? Which host OS are you using? Which architecture (x86 or M1, Mac or mobile) are you using? |

Same here, the shared folder shows the folder but the items inside are all greyed out. Also, is there no ability to drag and drop from Mac to the virtual machine? I can share them using the virtual drive on the Mac, but it includes all the hidden folders/extensions/config files as well so it's a bit of a mess. |

Same problem for me...
Attempted to share ~/Downloads, but nothing appears in My Computer (expecting a new drive letter... right?) And the shared clipboard doesn't work either. The problem with shared folders is that although "SPICE Guest Tools" installs a "Spice WebDAV Proxy" service on the guest... there's something else we need to install (on the host? on the guest?). |

I had the same issue (at least it looks to me that we're talking about the same issue) and for me the workaround at #3755 (comment) worked |

Running Windows 11 on a Mac M1 Pro and I had the same problem – shared drive didn't show in Windows file explorer. I had made a folder in Finder that I called "Shared" but I couldn't see it in Windows. I found a very simple solution. The folder I tried to share was empty!!! As soon as I added something to it, it showed in Z:! That worked for me at least, very simple 😂 |

It looks like kimjansheden has tumbled on the answer. I have been trying to use the "shared Folder" icon in the top right, as I am sure most others are doing. The shared folder is actually Z drive. Use Windows Explorer, go to Network Drive (Z:) and your shared files are accessible from there. |

I also thought I didn't get the Shared folder (was expecting the same name as on the Macbook/host side), but now I realized the shared folder was already showing up although I didn't notice that until I added a test file into it and looked around here and there. The name that showed up on the Windows (Guest) side was "DavWWWRoot (\localhost@9843) (Z:)". |

On Windows, I reinstalled both spice-guest-tools and spice WebDAV daemon from spice-space.org (because UTM's spice tools didnt work). After a reboot, I used the "map network drive" feature and put \\localhost@9843, and it finally worked! Edit: |

Same problem with Arch Linux as guest and macOS Ventura 13.4.1 M1 as host. The clipboard does not work between the host system and the guest system. Clipboard sharing is enabled in the UTM machine settings. All agents are installed in the guest system according to documentation.

Yes I did solve the issue. It was a fair while back and I don’t use UTM anymore. Sorry, I can’t help any further.

This was driving me crazy for a few days. I've re-installed the tools and restarted a bunch, but it wasn't until I actually shutdown and started it clean that the share started working. Credit to Individual-Lime-6706 on reddit. |

I did install SPICE Guest Tools, but Directory sharing is not working. Clipboard copy past and internet is working. I tried multiple times after creating new VMs but it's not working.
Following is the screen shot of my VM's setting.
