using local folder into docker container

Hi I have a windows machine and I installed a docker desktop on it and created a ubuntu container on it.

In docker settings I checked my C: Drive under shared drive option. and I created a folder under /opt named /mydata in this container

Now I run this command:

docker my_container_name run -v /Users/john/Documents/DOCKER_FOLDER:/opt/mydata

But I don't see the files under DOCKER_FOLDER to be in /opt/mydata folder.

Not sure what I a doing wrong.

the right command is:

docker my_container_name run -v c:/Users/john/Documents/DOCKER_FOLDER:/opt/mydata ls /opt/mydata

so you need to specify the volume letter and a command to run
