I have a VirtualBox installed on Ubuntu 18.04 and within VirtualBox Ubuntu 18.04 is also installed i.e. both host and guest machine are the same OS. Now I need to transfer some files from host machine to guest machine, I followed instructions mentioned [here](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders).

But while issuing the following command in guest machine

```
$ sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=$UID,gid=$(id -g) share ~/host

```

I am getting an error

> 
> mount: /home/atinesh/host: mount point does not exist
>

How can I transfer files from host machine to guest machine

**Update**:
I have created `home` directory in Guest OS, Now while Issuing the same command as mentioned above getting this error
