In ubuntu or xubuntu it work,but in trisquel i insert in konsole this comand sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 UbuntuShare Scrivania/Transit/ and recive this error /sbin/mount.voxsf:mounting failed with error no such device
Can you help me ? Many thanks and best regards

Maybe it requires "VirtualBox OSE Guest Additions", which is non-free (hence, absent from Trisquel's repositories): http:name at domain/msg00787.html
You can try to remove this package from your *buntu operating systems and see.
Most likely this will be the cause of the failed folder sharing between the two operating systems

If I recall correctly there is a free version of the guest extensions. I was
mistaken in thinking that the main software was free and the guest extension
was only available in a non-free form. There wasn't any obvious way to get
the code. The way things are/were setup it is/was just really confusing.
There is an older thread discussing the VB Guest Additions licensing. Also, I
read somewhere a long time ago that there is an effort to make a free version
of this extension.

I think there are two licenses that the extensions are released under which is what makes this confusing. Somewhere I believe you can find a version that is under the free license. Try posting on the virtualbox forums or maybe try doing a search for something within the last year or month.
