Nice little write up on getting VirtualBox shares working on VirtualBox (Windows host) and Ubuntu 22.04 Client

Keys are

Mount VBoxGuestAdditions.iso in Storage: CDRom under settings for the VM – only then will this file show up on the Ubuntu client then:

sudo bash ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Read this how write-up it is good and complete

Also need to add group to user trying to access the share – root will have permissions by default

sudo usermod -aG vboxsf mike
