create file in shared folder docker container

Question

When I try to create a file in a folder that is shared between the host and the container, I get the following error sh: can not create *.txt: Protocol error

I have mac os, so I use docker-machine in virtualbox to run container. To summarize, I shared folder between virtualbox and host, then I shared this folder between virtualbox and container, I can see the folder contents but when I try to create a file I get an Protocol error

The problem is with the shared folder in the virtualbox have the same name as the folder in the host. When I rename the shared folder in the virtualbox and I have no error, I can create file in docker container.
