I happily installed Ubuntu 22.04 in the virtual machine and added a shared folder. As a result, there is no hgfs folder in /mnt, let alone the shared folder winShare. Then I checked on the Internet how to do it, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and it was finally solved!
Environment: (1) VMware Workstation 16 Pro, 16.2.3
(2) Ubuntu 22.04
Check the set shared directory, if it is displayed, it means that there is no problem with the vmware setting
vmware-hgfsclient
1. Install VMware tools first
sudo apt install open-vm-tools
2. Manually create the /mnt/hgfs directory
sudo mkdir /mnt/hgfs
3. Execute the following command, you can see the shared directory you configured under /mnt/hgfs
vmhgfs-fuse .host:/share /mnt/hgfs #share:你的共享目录名
4. If it fails, you need to set the boot to automatically mount
sudo vi /etc/fstab
Then use the command ato make the file editable, and the following line at the end of the file
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs fuse.vmhgfs-fuse allow_other 0 0
Then press Esc, ：, xto save the modified file and exit.
Notice:
Do not restart immediately, first use mount -a to test (if it prompts that you have no permission, as shown in the figure below, use sudo mount -athe test), to avoid errors that cause the machine to fail to boot, and restart if there is no problem.
