The name that is given to the folders in the VirtualBox GUI is the name that also is used in fstab when setting up the automatic mounting. Specify which folders I want to be available and then automatically mount them on boot time. This is where shared folders comes in handy. Even when I setup a virtual machine, the purpose is often that I do not want to install the software I need for a project on the host machine itself, but I still want the source code and artifacts on my host machine. I am using VirtualBox for virtualization on my MacBook Pro 2019 16'' for that matter. Sometimes I want to separate something that I need to do into a separate virtual machine.
