Which version of VB is used?
Which OS has the host?
Which OS has the guest?

Well, according to your second image, your problem is that you cannot mount guest additions in the Mint Guest system.

I would solve it by going to Virtual Box in whatever your Host Operating System is & downloading Guest additions.
Then open the Mint Guest System & run Guest Additions - by clicking on Devices & the last item in the drop down menu.

You should then add the Shared folder you want via the Shared Folders settings tab in VirtualBox.

I have never tried to use win-scp with VirtualBox & don't think that is a route you need to go down...
