Description

Now the VBoxGuestAdditions ISO files are downloaded in ~/.config/VirtualBox but ~/.config is only for config files not for big files. It must be downloaded into ~/.local/share/VirtualBox or ~/.cache/VirtualBox

This is not something we plan to change. We use a single "VirtualBox configuration home" folder for each different supported host OS. For Linux it is ~/.config/VirtualBox.

To add to that, the Guest Additions ISO does not have to be downloaded separately, it's bundled with VirtualBox!
