Since the SharedFolder feature of VirtualBox doesn't work in the current beta, you can read this thread to find out how to set up samba sharing instead:

As far as I know Bridged Networking would be necessary to give your machine a static ip adress that can be connectet to from within your LAN. This is unfortunately among the features that are not yet implemented in the Mac-Beta of VirtualBox. So you have to wait for a future release for that.
