Thank you for the answers, I solved and in case could be of use to someone
else, the solution was that apparently the VirtualBox and VirtualBox-guest
packages were conflicting on my machine. I solved downloading the
VirtualBox and the VirtualBox Extension Pack directly from the Oracle web
site and now shared folders work like a charm.

Thanks and best regards,
