Hi,
I enabled auto mounting through Virtualbox on windows host and it seems to work fine when accessed as root.
[david@david-pc ~]$ sudo ls -l /media
total 0
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 0 Nov 15 10:35 sf_progs
[david@david-pc ~]$ sudo ls -l /media/sf_progs
total 4
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 4096 Nov 16 15:56 java
But not when accessed as user
[david@david-pc ~]$ ls -l /media
ls: cannot access /media/sf_progs: Permission denied
total 0
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sf_progs
[david@david-pc ~]$ ls /media
ls: cannot access /media/sf_progs: Permission denied
sf_progs
[david@david-pc ~]
I have added myself to the vboxsf group, and tried accessing after rebooting aswell
[david@david-pc ~]$ id david
uid=1000(david) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),10(wheel),109(vboxsf)
Thanks

Do you have permission to access /media?

No. You need "x" to access a directory and you don't have that for non-root. Just chmod /media with 775.

Ahh, that's embarrassing. I just assumed that you only needed r to access a directory and x was for scripts and stuff.
But it works now, Thanks!

Sorry for the silly question but how did you add permission to media folder?

I am pretty sure they used chmod
