# VirtualBox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're using the VirtualBox [provider](/v2/providers/index.html), then
|
||
|
|
VirtualBox shared folders are the default synced folder type. These synced
|
||
|
|
folders use the VirtualBox shared folder system to sync file changes from
|
||
|
|
the guest to the host and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
## Caveats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a [VirtualBox bug][sendfile bug] related to `sendfile` which can result
|
||
|
|
in corrupted or non-updating files. You should deactivate `sendfile` in any
|
||
|
|
web servers you may be running.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Nginx:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sendfile off;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Apache:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EnableSendfile Off
