Hyper-V: Create shared folder between host and guest with internal network

  • Open Hyper-V Manager
  • Create a new internal virtual switch (e.g. “Internal Network Connection”)
  • Go to your Virtual Machine and create a new Network Adapter -> choose “Internal Network Connection” as virtual switch
  • Start the VM
  • Assign both your host as well as guest an IP address as well as a Subnet mask (IP4, e.g. 192.168.1.1 (host) / 192.168.1.2 (guest) and 255.255.255.0)
  • Open cmd both on host and guest and check via “ping” if host and guest can reach each other (if this does not work disable/enable the network adapter via the network settings in the control panel, restart…)
  • If successfull create a folder in the VM (e.g. “VMShare”), right-click on it -> Properties -> Sharing -> Advanced Sharing -> checkmark “Share this folder” -> Permissions -> Allow “Full Control” -> Apply
  • Now you should be able to reach the folder via the host -> to do so: open Windows Explorer -> enter the path to the guest (\192.168.1.xx…) in the address line -> enter the credentials of the guest (Choose “Other User” – it can be necessary to change the domain therefore enter “.\”[username] and [password])

There is also an easy way for copying via the clipboard:

  • If you start your VM and go to “View” you can enable “Enhanced Session”. If you do it is not possible to drag and drop but to copy and paste.
