- Folder Name: transfer
- _ Read only (not set)

For example, I don't know if and how VirtualBox handles file locking on the host OS side. In consequence, there could be a reason to prevent double mounting of a host folder on some host OSs. Another possibility would be that macOS changed its interface to folder sharing, and VirtualBox didn't adapt to it.
