COMMAND IF NEEDED:
1. Check if VMware Tools is installed (required for shared folder support)
vmware-toolbox-cmd -v

2. If not installed, update package list and install open-vm-tools
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop

3. Check if the shared folder is already mounted
ls /mnt/hgfs

4. If the /mnt/hgfs directory does not exist, create it
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hgfs

5. If the folder exists but is empty, try manually mounting the shared folder
sudo vmhgfs-fuse .host:/ /mnt/hgfs -o allow_other

6. After mounting, list contents again to verify shared folder access
ls /mnt/hgfs
