+ (body
+ (en "The nonguix container has a new environment variable
+@code{GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES} which is a @code{:} delimited list of
+directories to share with the container. These directories will be available
+at the same path as the host. For instance, you can set this to another drive
+you want to have a Steam library in by either setting this variable in your
+environment or launching Steam with:
+
+@example
+GUIX_SANDBOX_EXTRA_SHARES=/some/other/drive steam
+@end example
+
+This should allow you to select @code{/some/other/drive} in Steam for a game
+library. This is an experimental feature and just provides a basic way to add
+shares to the container, so please test and report any difficulties or
+suggestions to improve."))))
