so, VirtualBox' guest addition CD images are needed to make guest OSes use shared folders
in this case, the guest OS here is Kali Linux.
what's the right command line there(in it's terminal emulator) to install VirtualBox guest addition there(by using VBoxLinuxAdditions.run with command lines)?
cuz VirtualBox's guest addition CD image aren't runs automatically there

Please see the Linux GAs prerequisites, which are the same as for installing Virtualbox on a Linux host: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq
Then see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux

The remaining question is: how to open shared folder there, cuz even after I (re)installing Virtualbox guest additions there, I still can't open shared folder there?

Let's see if GAs are installed, since doing so in a Linux VM can be a bit tricky.
Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Looks like the GAs dinna install, laddie. The GAs shown are really old and need to be upgraded.00:00:03.549526 VirtualBox VM 6.1.28 r147628 win.amd64 (Oct 18 2021 18:49:03) release log
00:01:18.768781 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.0 r127566 '6.0.0'
Please look over the instructions again, carefully noting the messages produced in the terminal.
