I had machines with Ubuntu hosting a VirtualBox with Windows and Excel and if I recall correctly, I had Excel access the Ubuntu file system directly (which was ext4).
Since I usually have both an Ubuntu computer and a Windows computer running, I'd like to eliminate the need for VirtualBox. My need for Excel is only occasional. Is there a way to have the Windows machine's Excel access the Ubuntu ext4 file system via USB or even the internet?
This would be far more convenient than VirtualBox.
