Mount folder from vmware to windows network drive?

Question

Windows

Tell me how you can "mount / synchronize" (not sure what it's called) a folder from the ubuntu virtual machine raised on vmware 12 to a network drive on the Windows parent?
That is, so that I, having raised a virtual machine with ubuntu, could open "my computer" in windows and there, along with cd-rom, flash drives and other things, I saw this mounted folder.
I once set it up in such a way that I could go into this network drive and work with it like with a regular windows folder, while it was fully synchronized with the virtual machine.
What is the name of this technique, in which direction to google in general?

Answer 1

You need to share the folder via samba using the CIFS protocol. After that, you can connect this ball in Windows as a network drive.
