How to use shared folders on VMWare Fusion

Issue: How to use shared folders on VMWare Fusion

Affects: Mac systems and virtualized Windows systems

Solution/Process: In order to setup shared folders so that files can be easily accessed on both the Mac and Windows side, you first need to go to Virtual Machine > Shared Folders > Turn Shared Folders On
Then simply pick which folder you want to share (Documents, etc…). This will now allow you to copy files to access on both the Mac side and Windows side. This can be useful for screenshots, burning CDs, or other tasks that may require using one OS or the other.
