Installed
Member of both vboxsf and vboxusers
Win10-Home Guest: Created and Windows 10 Home installed
Used File->Close->Power off .
Ubuntu 18.04 Host Terminal
\home\luigiwriter\vb-share share file created
Code:

VBoxManage sharedfolder add "Win10-Home" --name "vb-share" --hostpath "/home/luigiwriter"

Well, at least VBoxManage knows it exists, but not able to tell Windows 10???:(

net use Z: \\vboxsvr\vb-share

Windows file manager:
* network lists local machine, but not \\vboxsvr
* Map drives does not find it either.

Hard Reboot just to be sure
Windows file manager:
Map drive:

\\vboxsvr\vb-share

Have to type everything in because the clipboard is not working either although set to bi-directional.

4 days at this. searched google, Oracle, Virturalbox.org, and too many more to discover that no one with this combination has this exact problem.
Or if they did and did what I did above, and it worked for them but usually on older Ubuntu and older Window combinations.
At wits end, :confused:

Hope someone can see what I have missed while been staring at this for days
