# VZDirectorySharingDevice

The base class that represents a directory sharing device in a VM.

## Declaration

```swift
class VZDirectorySharingDevice
```

## Overview

Overview Don’t instantiate VZDirectorySharingDevice directly; configure a directory sharing device first by using VZVirtualMachineConfiguration through a subclass of VZDirectorySharingDeviceConfiguration. When you create a VZVirtualMachine from the configuration, the directory sharing devices are available through the VZVirtualMachine.directorySharingDevices property. The real type of VZDirectorySharingDevice corresponds to the type used by the configuration. For example, a VZVirtioFileSystemDeviceConfiguration leads to a device of type VZVirtioFileSystemDevice.
