Hello,
I am new to SAS. I am using University edition. I am having trouble creating library. It shows up in the list but not at the physical location. I have provided the correct path in settings of virtualware. Attached herewith are screen shots which provide the details. Would appreciate inputs.
P.S: I searched for similar queries and tried the solutions that have been shared but wasn't able to resolve the issue. Apologies for posting a trivial query.

You're doing it wrong. SAS UE runs on a Unix virtual machine, not your desktop so it can't see your C drive. It can only see the shared folder that you've linked so far. You can create other linked folders but I'll leave that alone for now.
You reference your files using the Unix path, like:
libname myfiles '/folders/myfolders/';
The links above have more detailed explanations but that's the gist of the idea.
I don't think there's a video specifically on this, but you can find video tutorials here:

Your libname statement is incorrect - when working in University Edition you need to assign a Library as in this link https://support.sas.com/software/products/university-edition/faq/SAS_libname.htm e.g.
libname newlib '/folders/myfolders/';
Don't forget that you're running inside a Linux virtual machine so you should always use forward slashes even when your host machine OS is Windows
