Enable Shared Folders to Access Files Between Your Host and Virtual Machines in VMware Workstation - OnlineComputerTips VMware Workstation has a feature called Shared Folders that allows you to setup a network type share to your host computer that can be accessed by your virtual machines. You can also configure it to map a drive as well. You will need to have Network Discovery enabled from the VM if you are not going to use the mapped drive feature. This is different from the Guest Isolation feature that allows you to drag and drop files and copy and paste text between your host and VMs using the Workstation console. onlinecomputertips.com

Tried to do this for two days on Workstation 16 and the only thing that worked was creating the VM from .vmdk files on an external hard drive. For some reason when the VM was on a separate drive form the host OS it was able to see the share and even auto-populate the shared subfolders.
I had this same problem setting up auto-back ups for some software once. it HAD to go to an external share for some reason so I needed a USB hard drive again. Windows IT problems suck. Go linux.

This has a -weird- solution, but it was the Only one that really solved the drag and drop issue. Really works for my VMware Workstation 16.1. Thank you a lot !
