Oracle Virtual Box: Shared folder

On the host, a shared folder can be added or removed from/to a guest with
VBoxManage sharedfolder
A given guest's definition for shared folders can be queried (on Windows) like so:
PS C:\> VBoxManage showvminfo $vmname --details --machinereadable | findstr SharedFolder

TODO

Why is a shared folder in a Linux guest not automatically mounted? It needs to be mounted manually:
sudo mount -t vboxsf sharedFolderName /mnt
