Hallo,
ist es möglich den gemeinsamen Ordner in der Virtualbox nicht als Netzlaufwerk sondern gleich als lokale Festplatte zu hinterlegen? Oder müsste ich gleich den Ordner als .vdi packen oder konvertieren?
Mfg

Virtualbox does not have a way to use a host folder as the VM's drive.
Virtualbox has Raw Disk Access, which allows taking a full drive (on a Windows host) or a drive partition (on a Linux host) for the VM to exclusively use.
But not a folder in the host OS. Most modern OS's expect exclusive use of the drive they use, and both the VM and host would have access to the folder, and data corruption would happen.
A real shared folder, shared over a Bridged or Host-Only network, can allow both host and VM access to a host folder without data corruption; however, the VM OS needs its own exclusive drive to boot from.
What kind of arrangement do you want? Maybe someone can suggest a workable setup.

VirtualBox does have the virtual ISO feature to allow you to treat a host folder as a virtual CD. However being a simple data CD it will be read-only.
IMO it's much less practical to do that with hard disks because there is no standard filesystem for hard disks. I also don't really see the point: the virtual ISO feature is most useful when dealing with really ancient guests (e.g. DOS, Win3.x) which have no GAs support and no modern networking capability either. For any modern guest OS the shared folder is a much more convenient paradigm.
