I installed the latest centos 7 based vm.
I also installed the vbox additions on the VM and rebooted the VM.
I then configured shared folders. I also made the share to be "auto mount"
But when I go into my VM. This folder is not to be found anywhere. I checked in "dev", "mnt", "media" but they are all blank.
Where is the shared folder

Re: Where are the shared folders?
Read Ch. 4.3 Shared folders and particularly Ch. 4.3.2 Automatic mounting (especially the note about the "vboxsf" group).
If you followed the instructions of Ch. 4.2.2. Guest Additions for Linux and you have installed the Guest Additions correctly the shared folders should be under your "/media" directory.
