VirtualBox with Ubuntu operating system guest, it added a group called vboxsf. If the folder does not exist, open terminal, create directory /Media/sf_share and give folder name mkdir /Media/sf_share When we shared a Host’s folder on Ubuntu guest, VirtualBox should create a folder on /Media just like the shared folder name with sf_ prefix.
