THIS SAVED ME BIG TIME! on previous version of Ubuntu before 22.04, Guest addition (GAs) is already part of the patches available upon first login to ubuntu so you wont miss to mount it); I only needed to do that part "Insert Guest Additions", then poof! my ubuntu screen is now resizable and all the shared folders i already created then showed up on left panel of ubuntu file explorer. THANK YOU! subbed!

Still, your tutorial was very clear and precise, appreciate it !
