I would also look at the Workstation User's Manual, pg. 177 for more info:

You could also run a small ftp server (like FileZilla) on your machine and share files through ftp.

Thanks coolsport00.
Solution: Network Places in your VMs and choosing 'Map Network Drive' and typing in the UNC path, for example: \\hostPC\folder1\folder2.

Glad to help; I recommend closing this question and assigning points if my solution did indeed work.
