I have been using genymoton for quite some time now.

Could someone pls. tell me if there is a way by which I can access the files present in the sd card of genymotion emulator?

Currently I have to upload them to google driver and then download on windows.

You can use shared folder for that. It is well explain on this Google+ post.

Here is the brief:

  • Go to your VirtualBox VM setting / Shared folder tab
  • Add a shared folder with the folder you want to shared, and check the "auto mount" option
  • Start your VM as usual from the Genymotion software
  • Your shared folder is available in the /mnt/shared directory (multiple shared folders are supported)
