Hi Remy,
If you do a Command-E then right arrow once you will land on Sharing. It will be worth your time to explore the settings and learn what options you find there. You can invoke the settings with the VM running or not running but some options will require you to unload the VM.

Hi all:

thanks so much for your help, I learned today a very new info for me.
frankly, i can not find the place to enable the folder share inside the
VMare, but, i found that it is already enabled, i was so happy for that,
and, i found also that i can access my dropbox that is installed on my
mac through the vmware.
so, i put  my files in the shared folder and i can access them through
the vmware shared folder.

Thanks so much again for helping

You can find this in the settings for vmware in the toolbar of the
active virtual machine, in the menu under Virtual Machine or just hit
Command-E. Sharing should be the second button in settings. Make sure
Enable Shared Folders is checked then VO-right twice to the Add
button. From there you pick what folder on your Mac you want to appear
as a folder on your virtual windows machine. Once added, log into your
virtual windows machine and you should find a shortcut on your desktop
called VMWare Shared Folders. Inside there you should find a
sub-folder named the same as the Mac directory you added.

Hope this helps.

Or just setup a shared folder between yoru fusion vm and the mac host.

 There should be an option in the Fusion system to setup a shared drive

I've just done this with virtual box on a windows 7 vm and sierra host

I used the shared folder on the mac os as the host end and then
specified a new folder name that vb created on the windows 7 desktop

I then put things in to either and they show up on the other.

Very simple
Sorry I can't tell you exatly where this is in fusion but it is there.
