Then right click on My Computer, (in the virtual box not in your original pc) then click on Map Network Drive.
Under folder field write \\vboxsvr\name of your folder. In my case the folder name was nexus thats why its written \\vboxsvr\nexus
Check the box Reconnect at logon if you don't want to follow this step every time you start the virtual box.
If you will leave it unchecked you will have to follow this step every time you start the virtual box to share files etc..
