Here are the steps

1) Install vbox guest additions on the guest os
2) share a host machine folder. You can do this by clicking on
Devices->Shared folder from running instance of guest OS window.
3) on guest os type folllowin in the terminal
$> sudo  mount -t vboxsf <share name> <mount point>

 Where <share name> is the name you gave while creating the folder.

You will be able to access the host machine folder based on the permissions
selected during the creation of shared folder.

Vivek
