Describe the issue
You can setup shared directories for macOS guests but they don't actually work for macOS 12.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.1.0
  • macOS Version: 13.0
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1

Upon checking Apple documentation, it seems shared directories only work if macOS 13 guests.

It'd be less confusing if we can hide the setting for shared directories for macOS < 13 guests.

Follow up question: I was able to share files with the guest macOS using File Sharing (SMB), but it's a relatively slow solution and you can see smbd using 100% of the CPU power:

Is there any better/faster solution to share files with the guest macOS?

Shared directories are not available for 13.x guests with 12.x hosts, either

Added clarifying note about macOS guest support. Also added the following documentation page clarifying how shares work: https://docs.getutm.app/guest-support/macos/
