You can transfer the files directly to your local hard drive instead of using Dropbox.

I'm using a virtual machine software, such as VMware or VirtualBox. The network connection is via a USB drive, and I'm switching between Linux and Windows operating systems.

Find the latest update for VirtualBox on Windows 10 and install it on Ubuntu.

You can create a shared folder in the VM settings. Inside the VM, you must join the vboxsf or similar group. Also, ensure VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.

Refer to the shared directory set up between your host (Ubuntu) and guest (Windows 10). Copy files from Windows 10 into the shared folder, and they will show up there in Ubuntu.

Follow these steps:
1. Download Virtualbox Extension Pack from the official site.
2. Install Virtualbox Guest Additions on Windows via the provided link.
3. Use the Ubuntu help center guide to create and mount the shared folder.

Good luck!
