title: Vagrant doesn't read Homestead.yaml
body: <p>I've been trying to sync a folder between my computer and a Homestead VM run using Vagrant. My guess is that Vagrant isn't reading my Homestead.yaml file as no change is reflected in the VM.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:    </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Tried reloading, halting with provision after editing the file as mentioned <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38947789/my-changes-to-homestead-yaml-are-not-reflected-in-the-virtual-environment-after">here</a>  </li>
  <li>Checked for tabs and ensured that there are 2 spaces in my yaml file</li>
  <li>Rechecked the paths of the mounted folders. Tried variations like <code>/home/abhirath/Desktop/Laravel_Recipes</code> and <code>~/Desktop/Laravel_Recipes</code></li>
  <li>Destroyed and recreated the VM</li>
  <li>Read random tutorials like <a href="https://scotch.io/tutorials/getting-started-with-laravel-homestead" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a></li>
  <li>SSH'd into my VM. I don't see any folder there</li>
  <li>I changed the memory from 2048 to 512 in the <code>Homestead.yaml</code> file and checked the RAM in my VM using <code>sudo cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal</code> and it still shows 2048 MB</li>
  <li><code>vagrant up</code> with debug mode enabled. I couldn't find anything relevant in the debug logs</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h3><code>contents of ~/.homestead</code></h3>
  
  <ul>
  <li>after.sh  </li>
  <li>aliases  </li>
  <li>Homestead.yaml  </li>
  <li>Vagrantfile</li>
  </ul>
  
  <h3><code>Homestead.yaml</code></h3>
