In order to to find out whether Windows 7 SP1 X64 drivers & Some CG Software works in Win 8.1 X64, i wanted to know how to share folder in between guest & host OS in VMWare Workstation I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 as main OS & i installed Windows 8.1 Pro X64 In VMware but i don't know how to share folder plz some one tell me how can i share folder between these two OS.
Note :- CG software's (Autodesk 3ds max, maya, SoftImage, Adobe Cs6, Nuke) are very huge so pendrive is not an option

DIY FTW!
The steps may vary depending on the version of VMware. Go to help topics and search for 'share'. It will show the steps for your version of VMware.
