I am using :


VMware Workstation v10.0.3
Kali 2016.2 amd64 Full (http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-2016.2/kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso)
VMware Tools 10.1.5 (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/download/stable-10.1.5/open-vm-tools-10.1.5-5055683.tar.gz)

After installing Kali on VMware i ran these commands one by one :



sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo apt-get install module-assistant
m-a update
m-a prepare

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop fuse
reboot
vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
sudo vmware-hgfsclient


Now the latest command shows : Shared as i defined it in VMware settings.
Where is Shared folder & how can i use it?
It seems there is a problem about shared folders in this version of kali.
For old versions this patch works :
vmware-tools-patches (https://github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches)
Now what can i do for that kali & VMware Tools?


Thanks in advance

Why not just read the docs? http://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-vmware-tools-kali-guest
