Created attachment 236307 [details] attachment not working Hello, I did install FreeBSD 13.1 as a Virtualbox guest under a Wx Host. I did follow the instructions from the Handbook in oder to make it work, especially the Virtualization section. I shared a folder with the following command from the host system: * VBoxManage sharedfolder add "FreeBSD" --name "Docs" --hostpath "C:\test" I could mount the shred folder on the guest with: * mount_vboxvfs -w Docs /mnt/Wx/ I can access the files with my no root user via CLI and also with the caja file manager, can also add and delete files. The problem comes when I am using the mail client thunderbird, writing a new mail and try to add an attachment that is stored in the shared folder, the folder /mnt/Wx appears as empty than (see attachment).

Thank you in advance. Best regards, macaal
Bug 270189 prevents me from testing on my everyday computer. Loosely based on experience with VirtualBox on Linux for a customer a few weeks ago, I suspect that other users (of the port to FreeBSD) will be affected. macaal: if you can, please check whether users of Linux report a similar problem. <https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community> – forums first will probably be easiest.
Correcting myself re: assignment and the request for feedback. Apologies for the misinterpretation of the report. I do still have a hunch that this, or something very similar, will be reproducible with a FreeBSD guest on a Linux host.
