# mount -t vboxfs sharename /mountpoint

e.g.

# mount -t vboxsf sharedfolder /mnt/sharedfolder

 Note:

(1)  the dir for the mountpoint must already been created

(2)  The above will fail if the VM settings for shared folder specifies automatic mount, in which case the mountpoiint automatically be /media/sf_sharename )
