You can increase space in your box, without losing data or creating new partitions.

1. Halt your VM;

4. Change the file extension back and change the file name.

5. Attach an extended disk to your VM.

   VBoxManage storageattach  --storagectl "IDE Controller" --
   port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium new_extended_file.vmdk
