I connect from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via VirtualBox, then from Ubuntu I connect to Windows Server 2012 via Remmina.

I've configured Remmina to connect with shared folder but I don't know how to see that shared folder in Windows Server 2012, maybe adding a network location, but when I'm asked for the network address I don't know what I have to write.

Is this way correct? What did I miss?

Well, I really don't understand why, but if you configure in remmina sound to "local" (on advance configuration), it works.
