Fedora 33 guest on CentOS 7 client: spice-webdavd

[ng0177]

Gnome Boxes's file sharing through spice is not working for me yet. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Fedora33 guest:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install spice-webdavd

When did virtualbox start supporting Spice?

[ng0177]

Sorry, I edited the post: it should read Gnome Boxes not virtualbox.
