But there are some other consequences you may face Guest Additions provide additional capability to a guest virtual machine, including file sharing. Hence, first create the shared folder on the host then, within the guest, connect to it. To share a host folder with a virtual machine in Virtual Box, you must specify the path of that folder and choose for it a “share name” that the guest can use to access it.
Shared folders must physically reside on the host and are then shared with the guest, which uses a special file system driver in the Guest Addition to talk to the host. Shared Folders are supported with Windows (2000 or newer), Linux and Solaris guests. This is similar how you would use network shares in Windows networks - except that shared folders do not need require networking, only the Guest Additions. With the “shared folders” feature of Virtual Box, you can access files of your host system from within the guest system.
