VMWare: 15.5.0 build-14665864

A simple cp localfolder ~/shares/share-folder/ would fail with an error, when attempted using e.g. gnome-files (nautilus) the error states "slicing error".

The share has been mounted according to e.g.

In the virtual machine, Ubuntu 20.04

$ sudo umount shares
$ tail -n 1 /etc/fstab 
vmhgfs-fuse     /home/hannu/shares fuse    defaults,max_write=32768,allow_other      0    0
$ mkdir -p $HOME/shares && sudo mount shares

Make sure that the fstab line has max_write defined as above. The name of the folder you have defined as "share" in VMWare settings (for the current VM) will appear as a sub-folder in ~/shares/ .
