Get the file ID from the shareable link URL. For example, the URL has a format similar to this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/THE_FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing , then the file ID is THE_FILE_ID .

Set new storage size using GUI by selecting " File > Virtual Media Manager > Properties " then find the desired virtual hard disk name that will be resized. OR , by running a CLI program located in " Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe ".  cd "/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox" ./VBoxManage.exe list...
