I am trying to run Arch as guest in Virtualbox on Windows 7 host.
Everything was smooth until I tried to use "shared folder" feature.
Here is the line in /etc/fstab for shared folder
Documents /home/user/Documents vboxsf defaults,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
I was able to modify files which ALREADY EXIST in the mounted folder, but I was UNALBE to CREATE NEW files or REMOVE files in the mounted folder.
I checked the ownership of /home/user/Documents which shows that "user" do NOT have write privilege .
Can someone tell me how to mount a Virtualbox shared folder as a normal user with full read/write privilege?
Thanks!

Did you try changing
gid=100
to
gid=1000

NO, it does not help.
The gid of my user is 100. So, that's not the issue.
The same problem is still there.

RESOLUTION:
mount with "dmode" option to override the permissions of mounted folder.
in /etc/fstab
shared /home/user/shared defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,dmode=1755 0 0
