This is all covered in the DOSBox documentation. I recommend that you peruse that.

To summarize, for a shared folder mounted in /media/shared, the command to access that folder is

mount x /media/shared

This command can be executed in a DOSBox window or through the autoexec portion of your DOSBox conf file. X can be any unused drive letter which can then be accessed as you would in DOS.
