This step only applies to Linux guest OS(not Windows).
#Virtualbox shared folder not showing full
You should note the folder name in order to identify the full folder pathname on the guest OS. The Folder name field refers to the folder name on the guest OS, which defaults to the folder name you specified in the last step.

The method outlined in this blog post works for Linux and Windows guest OSes but not FreeBSD. Part 3 shows how the guest OS can access USB drives mounted on the host.
#Virtualbox shared folder not showing manual
Manual Mounting as it applies to Windows, and I have searched on this forum and elsewhere but have not found a solution. I have read (and re-read) VirtualBox manual section 4.3. I am able to connect to a USB drive plugged into the host. Part 2 outlines the post installation tasks, including installing the universal VirtualBox extension pack. Setting the mount point to the letter Z did not help. Optionally select the 'Make permanent' option Prepare the folder.

Part 1 of the series shows how to install VirtualBox on a Debian host, and how to create a FreeBSD virtual machine. Boot the Guest operating system in VirtualBox. The focus is on how to share folders between the host and the guest OSes. This post is the 4th installment of the VirtualBox series.
