In VMware Fusion, select a virtual machine from the Virtual Machine Library (Cmd-Shift-L), press Cmd-E to open Virtual Machine » Settings… and select Sharing:

Doesn't Drag and Drop work ?
I have been doing this since long, and it works fine for me.

This does transfer, but not share. – Daniel Beck Apr 23 '11 at 10:14

You can enable sharing from within the OSX virtual machine System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing. enter image description here

You can access this from within windows \\VMWARE VIRTUAL\User or by browsing the windows network.

By default yo may not be able to access some directories, you need to set the correct permissions for that within the virtual machine.If you want to be able to read and write into it something like chmod 777 Downloads/ should do the trick.

Ask away if you need any clarifications with this.
