automatic mounting could be done as auto-starting the mount command:

1. create a script for mounting:
cat sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=USER_ID SHARED_FOLDER_NAME MOUNTED_FOLDER > /etc/init.d/vbox_automount

2. set permissions for the file to be executable:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/vbox_automount

3. to tell the system to start the script at boot (this is a linux distro dependent command - for ubuntu):
sudo update-rc.d vbox_automoun defaults

[not tested, sorry]

Thank you,

How would I have the share folder auto mount upon boot up?

Presently I have to manually mount the share folder every time I restart.
