At the bottom, add this line, (without quotes) - ".host:/ /mnt/hgfs fuse.vmhgfs-fuse defaults,allow_other 0 0" In good news, Mint's at least made sure the appropriate service, (rvice) is actually running and enabled on startup, so all you really have to do is add a line to /etc/fstab to get the shared folders to reconnect on every reboot. By default, if you enable shared folders in the VMWare client, then reboot, you'll lose them every time, (if you disable and re-enable your shared folders in the VMWare client, you'll see them again, but doing that on every reboot's a hassle). After lots of googling with other open-vmware-tools distros, to hopefully help here:
Just upgraded from 19.3 to 20, (Windows 10 host, VMWare 15.5.6) and, as anyone who's also running Mint in VMWare's noticed, Mint 20's now using open-vmware-tools, which is great in terms of not having to reinstall VMWare Tools every time a new kernel is released, but unfortunately inherits the bits of not-as-user-friendly-as-the-proprietary-version found in every other open-vmware-tools distro I've seen when it comes to enabling both Shared Folders and drag-and-drop, (though, much to Clem and Co's credit, auto-resizing / the ability to go full screen out of box actually works, which it never has on any other open-vmware-tools distro I've tried).
