Describe the issue

Directory sharing is a feature that is supported by Virtualization.framework for MacOS guests, however I can't seem to share any directories in UTM from the host too the guest. The button is greyedo ut.

Configuration

• UTM Version: 4.5.4
• macOS Version: 15.1
• Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M2 Max

This looks like it might be affecting all macOS Virtualization guests. It works fine for Linux Apple Virtualization guests, but I can reproduce this on:

UTM 4.6.0 beta
macOS 15.1 host
Apple M1 Max
macOS 13, 14, and 15 guests

occurs on all three guests.

There is a workaround: shut down the VM and edit the settings, you can add a shared folder that way.

Hey thanks!

I tried out the change and the button is clickable now. However no mount shows up under /Volumes/My Shared Files as documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/vzvirtiofilesystemdeviceconfiguration#4052497

so this still seems broken.
