One thing I'm working towards on a Mac is to have a NFS server VM, and storing the working files in the exported NFS share. This sidesteps the vboxsf rubbishness, and changes the problem from the host needing a server to only needing a client. I think nekodrive should work for this on Windows, but I've not tried it. Mac works fine.

That's an interesting way to resolve the issue. NFS works well for Mac, and I'm told it's unsupported on Windows, but setting up NFS in this way might work. Furthermore I might be able to find an NFS image for Docker that I could just fire up on the side... /me ponders
