File sharing between host and guest

For Linux guests, Virtio-FS and 9p are available for file sharing. See ArchWiki for more information.
For Windows guest, the easiest way to share file between host and guest is through SAMBA.

  1. Create a SAMBA usershare
  2. In Windows guest, enter \\192.168.122.1 in the file explorer, and you should be able to see the usershare on your host.
  3. Map that SAMBA usershare to a new drive, and connect to it with the appropriate credential. That's it.
