UTM uses VirtioFS with Apple's virtualisation backend. Works out of the box with my Ubuntu server guests. You still need to mount the share as described here, but that's it: https://docs.getutm.app/guest-support/linux/#macos-virtiofs https://docs.getutm.app/guest-support/linux/#macos-virtiofs What took me a bit to figure out is that this does not mount a single folder, but a virtual parent folder to which you can add and remove directories without changing the mount. This even works while the VM is running. For example, mounting share /mnt/host virtiofs rw,nofail 0 0 in the guest and then sharing ~/Downloads in UTM will share the Downloads folder as /mnt/host/Downloads When using the QEMU backend, VirtFS is used instead, which does not use such a parent folder and requires restarting the VM to change shares iirc.
