Not able to access shared folders in Virtualbox

Question

I am running an Ubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox on my Windows 7

From VirtualBox, I set up a share folder, and I can see it from Ubuntu under media folder

drwxrwx--- 1 root    vboxsf     0 2011-03-15 16:58 sf_ShareFolderWithVB

However, I cannot access it with my current user.

How can I grant the right for myself to access that folder?

Thanks.

You could add yourself to the vboxsf-group with sudo adduser <username> vboxsf.
