How can you get a file into a VM without creating a potential malware breach? I was told to kill the internet connection, disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, and no sharing disks, but how would I be able to get the files into the VM if it is secure from both sides? The file in question is about 36GB and there is a second file that is 678MB.

Thank you.

    Doesn’t that require downloading software to create the iso, and then having to download software to open the iso file inside the VM? If that is the case, wouldn’t I be better off just drag + dropping the folder into the VM and keep network disconnected for the VM?

      Windows and Linux can mount ISOs without additional software. Macs can mount DMGs.

      Either way, you could preload that software before the file.
