On some Linux flavors you may see the Virtualbox Guest additions shared folders not auto mounting on your desktop.

I am not sure if this is the best fix but for now I removed systemd-timesyncd.service from the Conflicts section in the unit file as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also note that I completely purged the v5.x guest additions that came standard and installed v6 from the guest additions ISO.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n# pwd\n\/lib\/systemd\/system\n# diff vboxadd-service.service \/tmp\/vboxadd-service.service \n6c6\n&lt; Conflicts=shutdown.target\n---\n&gt; Conflicts=shutdown.target systemd-timesyncd.service\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Update 3\/29\/19:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above option means the unit file change will be reversed when you update the guest additions.
