Alex Bligh,
The description text was not up to date and I am correcting it. When the kernel modules from the dkms package were taken to the Linux kernel community the vmhgfs module was not accepted and vmhgfs is no longer supported. The current options for file access between the host and guest would be standard remote file systems such as CIFS or NFS. Additionally, file drag-and-drop is functional and provided by open-vm-tools-lts-trusty-desktop.
