@llmojo I 2nd @Moltke says, once you have the additions installed in VB there is a shared folder you can add/mount.
If I recall once you have it added/shared you can add just like any mount in fstab without added permissions..
Not in front of mine but, more sharing host to guest.
Else the host and guest will need to he on same network, its own ip same subnet, firewalls, perms etc...
If you're trying a real world scenario, I'd do a 2nd guest, have the guests on same network and configure like 2 nodes vs. host & guest...

On the windows-PC i installed Oracle VirtualBox6.1
On Virtualbox i installed Linux Lite5.4
On the windows-PC i created a share -> D:/win_share
So LinuxLite(VM) can only run when the windows-PC runs as well, i think
If am right the Windows PC is the server
I hope this is easier to understand

Thanks, that clarifies a few things. What is it exactly you want to achieve with that? If Linux Lite is a VM running in virtualbox which is installed in Windows 10, then it'll be available only and when the Windows PC is on. In virtualbox, there's a feature to create a share folder, and you don't need to go through all this problem, it's a matter of ticking a box to make it permanent. In virtualization jargon, Windows 10 is the host OS and Linux the guest OS. Did you install virtualbox guest additions and VBox extension pack? https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads These 2 packages will improve the way you interact with your virtual machines. Here are a couple of articles you might want to read

It seems to me that what you're trying to do is something that can be done with two computers.

--- Code: ---sudo mount /media/win_share
--- End code ---
But how can i access this folder with out sudo?

I don't think you can. It might work if you make the mountpoint in /home, so instead of /media/win_share is $HOME/win_share, but I suggest that you carefully read the article on how to create a share folder in virtualbox first, and you'll find that it is actually easier than you thought, and certainly a lot way easier than this.
