    1 Note that the VirtualBox (VBox) 6.x installer also comes with its own OSXFUSE installer, which runs by default {the second screen has a Customize button at lower left, via which you can opt out}. The bundled OSXFUSE installer also now seems to place its components directly into '/Library/…' and '/usr/local/…'. Perhaps VBox is most compatible with that bundled version?

    3 FWIW, VBox 6.1.18's vboximg-mount works well on my host Mac under macOS 10.13.6 'High Sierra'. I'm also a long-time user of initially MacFUSE {big 'M' (legacy)} and later OSXFUSE / macFUSE {little 'm' (recent renaming of OSXFUSE)}, independently of VBox. So, I have my own installation of macFUSE 4.0.5, along with an older OSXFUSE 3.10.4 that VBox installed. However, I've noticed that the macFUSE installer can try to remove all traces of OSXFUSE, so it's also possible that installing it after installing VBox could lead to this issue.

    55In any event, it might be worth a try to just re-run the VBox installer.
