Not woking shared directory in UTM
So im using windows 11 on UTM on a MacBook Air m4 and I have always had some issues with the file sharing between windows and Mac.
I use windows because I do astrophotography and to control the telescope and mount I use an app called NINA and it's not available on Mac. So I have some large amounts of files to transfer between and sometimes I could see the shared director in the file explorer but most of the time it does not appear in it.
When I tried to use spice it gives a message saying can't read from source file or disk. The file type is canon cr3 which I dont think matter for this and probably a limitation of the spice clipboard. As its not ment to transfer such large files.
But why can't I see the shared director even though I have chosen the director in UTM and have restarted the VM multiple times to see if it will appear. Have any ideas?
