In my personal experience, it's difficult to enable shared folders in VirtualBox but it Is posible. I have a debian Buster guest virtual machine installed in my Windows 10 host.

I don't recognize exactly what did it, but I remember I went to Windows defender, my antivirus to see if they recognize VirtualBox as a program and not as a virus. After that, I press right click on the document file and allowed to share the folder and I gave click to some buttons there and accepted to share with groups and with muy user in Windows 10.

Also, I found a webpage of Windows about something like virtual machines that I don't remember well, but it took me to a panel and I had to change three things double clicking so when I update Windows, it recognizes my virtual machine. Also, in muy debian, in the terminal, using some command lines, muy VirtualBox recognized my user giving permissions, I based on some info in the Ubuntu forums. I put all what I remember.
