**Important Note.** Please only use the shared folder to copy files
between the VM and the host machine, and **never use it
as your working folder**. Working from the shared folder has
caused many problems, especially on the permissions of the files
created inside the shared folder. For example, if we unzip
the `Labsetup.zip` file inside the shared folder, the permissions
of the unzipped files will be different from those on
the original files. Some labs and containers are very
sensitive to those permissions.
