Answer 1

I solve my problem

Follow Answer First

• Go to the VirtualBox VM tab / tab with shared folder
• Add a shared folder with the folder you want to share, and check the "auto-mount" option
• Start your virtual machine, as usual, with Genymotion software.
• Your shared folder is available in the / mnt / shared directory (multiple shared folders are supported)

After that, change the file manager settings in Genymotion emulator , change it to the root user so that my entire folder is also visible with shared folders

• On the Genymotion virtual appliance, launch the File Manager app and READ the low-privilege mode ad.
• Go to the "Settings" menu from the "File Manager"
• In the "general settings" click "Access Mode" and activate "Root Access"
• Restart File Manager => all directories will be presented

Update In the new version of genymotion you can add files / folder by dragging and dropping . It takes some time to add files to the emulator. time depends on file size.

Update 2 (based on @GandhyOnly comment)

To make it visible in the gallery, simply drag and drop the image files onto the emulator that they saved in the download folder after the file transfer is complete, restart the same emulator and the images will be displayed in the gallery. Or if you do not want to restart the emulator, use the following command

 adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -d file:///sdcard/ 

he will scan the images and show them in the gallery. See the actual answer here for more details on the command. I did not check the command that I use the first method, just restart the emulator

Answer 2

Just drag the file you want to use onto the emulator.

It will be saved in the Download folder.

Answer 3

I have a simpler approach to this. Open your genymotion and just

drag and drop the file to the desired

I am attaching two screenshots in this regard. I had an application that used photos, after copying by dragging and dropping, I was able to find the images in the file manager through my application. **

Just drag as shown below.

And you're done

It will be copied to the Download folder.

Answer 4

Just drag and drop files from your PC to the emulator and after copying the data, the files will be saved in the DOWNLOAD folder. Remember that for DRAG and DROP services do not open the Genemotion software with ADMINISTRATOR privileges .

Answer 5

I'm not sure if you are using an SD card or not. In case you do this, try looking in this folder through the DDMS Explorer file in Eclipse:

mnt / shell / emulate / 0 / MYFILES

This is where my files go when using the standard SD card link in my code:

 File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File directory = new File (sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/MyFiles");
