Select the **Enable VirtioFS accelerated directory** sharing option to enable VirtioFS. You must install Docker Desktop 4.6 or higher and macOS 12.2 to use VirtioFS.
VirtioFS is a file system that shares information quicker by utilizing a virtual machine and host kernel located on the same machine. For example, the VirtioFS daemon ‘virtualization.framework’ runs as a separate process on macOS and allows the Linux VM to directly access files on the macOS host. VirtioFS can also take a file and map it into the Linux VM’s memory space, removing the need to copy the entire contents into the VM’s memory and making the file contents quickly accessible from the host.

VirtioFS helps developers share the source code volumes located on their host with the container. Meaning that changes made on the host automatically propagate to the container without rebuilding the image.
When developers make changes to a file and save it on their host machine, the changes do not sync automatically with those in the container. Due to this, developers use the `docker run -v` command to share the source code volumes located on their host with the container. This causes slower performance for users and also decreases productivity.
