Re-enter virtual Ubuntu and enter it at the command line terminal:

sudo mkdir/mnt/shared

sudo mount-t vboxsf share/mnt/shared

Where "Share" is the name of the shared folder that was previously created. OK, now Ubuntu and host can transfer files.

If you do not want to manually mount each time, you can add an item to the/etc/fstab
