Moving files from Windows VM to my Host

Hi everyone,

I am very new to Linux/GNU amd I have moved from windows to Fedora workstation 40 with GNOME a few moths ago.

I have been blown away how easy everything have been to migrate but there is one thing I can’t migrate which is proton drive as they don’t support Linux 😡.

I decided to follow some advice online and set up a windows VM in GNOME boxes and install proton Drive then I can copy/mount my files leaving the VM to sync my proton drive.

I have insralles spice on both the Host and the Guest OS and can copy filed to the VM but I can’t for the life of me work out how to get from the VM.

I am probably being stupif but please be gentle I have only been using Linux for 2 months.

Thanks in advance.

rclone supports Proton Drive, no need to run a Windows VM for that.

  This, or you could just symlink a folder in your home to wherever a wine prefix would be to run it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
