Recently I had to copy couple of big docker images from a guest OS to windows host and I wanted to use a very useful feature called Shared Folders (Manage -> Virtual Machine Settings -> Options -> Shared Folders) but nothing was showing up in the default mount place /mnt/hgfs
I started searching for a solution online but most of the advices did not work for me. What did work was to mount the share manually. If for example you have a share on host system with a name myshare and your folder sharing is either "Always enabled" or "Enabled until next power off or suspend" then on guest just execute:
sudo mkdir /mnt/mynewshare
sudo vmhgfs-fuse -o allow_other .host:/myshare /mnt/mynewshare
This should nicely mount required folder.
You might have to reinstall VMware tools if this command doesn't work for you.
