VirtualBox: Accessing windows shared folder in Linux guest

Make sure you have installed Guest Additions.
Share a folder on the host machine by going to settings/SharedFolders
Now, login to Linux guest machine and run following commands:

# sudo mkdir /media/some_name
# sudo mount -t vboxsf Host_Shared_Folder_Name /media/some_name

Now cd to /media/some_name and you will see all your windows files.

Add those commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local file to start this mount automatically on the reboot.
