Using CodeBlocks 16.01 in Ubuntu 16.04 configured as VirtualBox guest under Windows 10 host. Same configuration on 2 computers, a 64-bit and a 32-bit. I need to test my project on both computers. I attempted to copy all project files from 64-bit system into shared folder, then copy into 32-bit system the same way. When I attempt to open the project, the files are several versions old and I am unable to locate the current files. I religiously "Save everything" before closing down.
Can you help me understand what's going on?

Nope because we have no idea how you're copying the files.
The best advice we can give you is to use a Version Control system like git to share the files and keep the history in tact.
See this for more details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control
Another thing you could try is to use another editor to check the content of the files and compare them.

All projects are in a folder named Projects in my home directory. After closing C::B I use the Files app to copy the entire folder to the SharedFiles folder. This folder is also shared in the other guest machine. The weird part is that the project files have reverted in the machine I was working in, as if C::B rolled them back when I quit.

try to file-> Save all Projects before closing codeblocks

Actually, I did that. I think there may be a bug, or a damaged codefile in Codeblocks. When I open the saved file(s) in Notepad, the older portion of the file is at the top and this is all that Codeblocks will read/display. The newer portion is at the bottom with a large blank space between them. I can recover most of what was lost from this. I will reinstall and see what happens.
