- Within the Settings menu select the "Shared folders" tab
- Click the "add new Folder" button.
- You will be presented with a list of required paths for the new share.
- First select your local machines directory that you wish to share. This is selected under "Folder path".
- Next make sure the box for "auto-mount" is checked.
- For "mount point" enter "/mnt/shared"
- Make sure the checkbox for "make permanent" is also checked. And click OK.
- Once returned to the shared folders settings page. Click "OK" again.
