You should only access Linux files system (those located in lxss folder) from inside WSL; DO NOT create/modify any files in lxss folder in Windows - it's dangerous and WSL will not see these files.
Files can be shared between WSL and Windows, though; put the file outside of lxss folder. You can access them via drvFS (/mnt
) such as /mnt/c/Users/yourusername/files
within WSL. These files stay synced between WSL and Windows.
