No, there are no guest additions available for Mac OS X on VirtualBox. However, you can get the 'shared folders' using SMB. In order to do so you'll have to add a Host-Only adapter to your Mac VM and enable 'File Sharing' in Mac System Preferences.
Afterwards you can access the share via the IP address that was assigned to the Host-Only adapter of the VM (check with 'ifconfig' in terminal). Here's a detailed walkthrough for all this.
For USB-support you'll have to install the proprietary VirtualBox extension pack first in order to enable 'USB 3.0 support' in your VM's settings.

Hello, first post here.
Installed Arch in VirtualBox Mac (10.9.5) host, v. 5.2.6 (latest available as of today, 7-Feb-2018). All is well, except guest add-ons do not take effect.
What I tried:
1. ArchWiki Installation section:
1.1 $ sudo pacman -S virtualbox-guest-modules-arch virtualbox-guest-utils
After that:
1.2 $ sudo vi /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox
Saving the file with these lines:
vboxguest
vboxsf vboxvideo
1.3 reboot
2. The method 1. did not work, tried next option in ArchWiki - iso istall
2.1 uninstalled earlier step's packages with: $ sudo pacman -R virtualbox-guest-modules-arch virtualbox-guest-utils
2.2 installed virtualbox-guest-iso package
2.3 as root, mounted and run sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
I read in ArchWiki that version of additions must be the same as VirutalBox host. Here I have a mismatch, as pacman downloads guest additions v. 5.2.7, whilst Mac VirutalBox app is vs 5.2.6 (but it is the latest on https://www.virtualbox.org.)
