Docker issue in sharing folder on windows host through VBoxManage command

Let me first tell that I am able to share a folder from windows host using VirtualBox UI. I am just trying to do the same through the command line so I do not have to open the UI every time. I am using the following command to create the shared folder:

"C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage" sharedfolder add default -name myNewDockerVolume -hostpath C:/Users/kishore/Documents/myNewDockerVolume

And I get the following error for this:

$ "C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage" sharedfolder add default -name myNewDockerVolume -hostpath C:/Users/kishore/Documents/myNewDockerVolume
VBoxManage.exe: error: The machine 'default' is already locked for a session (or being unlocked)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_OBJECT_STATE (0x80bb0007), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "LockMachine(a->session, LockType_Write)" at line 1012 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp

I can see only one docker machine right now:

$ docker-machine ls
NAME      ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER    ERRORS
default   *        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v1.10.1

Am I doing something wrong here ?

Since the docker-machine is running, it is not letting you run this command. You can stop the docker-machine using :

docker-machine stop default

Before stopping docker-machine itself, make sure that your containers are stopped. See if this works!!
