After completing the configuration, if you go back to the system configuration menu, you should see that there is one shared folder configured.
To make the shared folder a permanent feature on your guest machine, you'll want to tick the Auto-mount and Make Permanent options. If you're not sure of the specific directory where you created your folder, open the folder you made in Linux, open a terminal, and input the pwd command to print the working directory. Since we made our folder in the Desktop directory, the mount point should be /home/linuxmint/Desktop/Shared_Folder. VirtualBox is one of the best (and free) virtual machine applications out there, but it’s even more useful if your virtual computer can integrate more tightly with the host computer. The Mount Point should lead to the folder you want to use as your shared folder in the guest machine. 
The Folder Name will be the name of the folder you will see on the guest machine. This feature is enabled and controlled through Virtual Machine Settings (VM Settings) in the Options Tab, under Shared Folders. In our case, we have selected the folder we made earlier, named Shared Folder. The Folder Path should be the folder you want to appoint as the shared folder. There you click on the add folder icon located on the right side of the window and input the Folder Path, Folder Name, and Mount Point, then click OK. After installing the software, go to VirtualBox and configure the guest machine by going to Settings > Shared Folders. To share a host folder with a virtual machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox, you must specify the path of the folder and choose a share name that the guest can use to.
