So, without any further delay, let’s get started with how you can mount individual virtual drives on guest operating systems, running on VMware Workstation Pro and Oracle VirtualBox. Most people, on their virtual machines, just keep only a single virtual drive, as virtual machines are virtual machines, and you don’t need to organize files in multiple partitions as you do on your physical machine. Now, depending upon which virtual machine platform that you are using, the process to mount a virtual drive will vary slightly on VMware Workstation Pro and Oracle VirtualBox. If you are dealing with multiple virtual machines, and you need a certain set of files for access, on all the virtual machines, you can better keep everything within a virtual drive, and connect them from time to time, on multiple virtual machines, for easy access. There is another advantage of virtual drives, as well. Depending upon the given set of circumstances that you are dealing with there are unlimited possibilities with a virtual hard drive. Even if you are not dealing with virtual machines, virtual drives can still be useful in a number of circumstances, like if you want to encrypt certain files, but not the complete drive, or if you are looking for more flexibility for the files, which are stored within a virtual drive.
