Access a Virtual Machine from outside VirtualBox
I have installed Windows Server 2012 R2 in Virtual Box and would now like to access that virtual machines shared drives from the host PC, is this possible?

Yes, The simplest way is to enable a second NIC in the vm (from Settings while the vm is shutdown) and set it to host only. It will get an IP automatically in the host only network.
