The Kali Docs page
https://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-vmware-tools-kali-guest

As the creator of the VMware Tools page for openSUSE, I can say that 99.99% of everything I wrote for openSUSE applies to Kali on Debian as well.
I even include instructions similar to what is now described in the Kali Docs, but that procedure only applies to kernels 3.x and older (who's still doing that?)

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:VMware_Tools

The only thing in Kali that is different than in openSUSE is the installation command of course which is

apt-get install open-vm-tools

After that, the User can walk himself through the entire openSUSE article from the top starting with running

vmware-hgfsclient

Recommend someone update the Kali docs...
