I wanted to use the new shared folders feature, but I cannot get it to work.

I've installed the spice-webdavd service (2.2) int the windows 7x64 guest and it started and is running.

I do get the + menu to add a host folder as a shared folder under the properties menu, but the folder list shows (None) and clicking the pulldownn menu does not give a list of folders. Thherefore it is not possible to add a folder.

I also would like to add that there is no documentation for this (very nice) feature, other than the blog post form the developer tat implemented it.

My OS is ubuntu 17.10 with gnome 3.26.
