I am running a host machine with windows 7 on it and installed virtual box on it several months ago. All of a sudden I am no longer able to access the shared folder I have been using. I can open a terminal and type cd /media/shared/networks and I get the error message bash: cd: /media/shared/networks: no such file or directory. There is a folder named shared on my windows desktop and there is a folder named networks within that shared folder. I am not sure where the issue is. If I type cd /media/shared the pwd returns as /media/shared, but when I ls nothing is returned, it shows that the folder is empty. has anyone else run into this type of problem and if so how did you fix it?

Verify in /media/sf_networks
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sf_mount_auto
resume:
With Linux guests, auto-mounted shared folders are mounted into the /media directory, along with the prefix sf_. For example, the shared folder myfiles would be mounted to /media/sf_myfiles
