You haven't provided enough information for me to be sure but it's likely the box has a vagrantfile packaged with it. The load order of configurations prefers a vagrantfile packaged with the box. So, if the box does have a packaged vagrantfile, you will always have to specify a type in your own configuration, you can't rely on default values.

[FractalizeR]

Opps! You are right! This is a vagrant file of the box:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.base_mac = "525400d3eba4"
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/home/vagrant/sync", type: "rsync"
end

Should this be reported as a bug? Why rsync type is hardcoded here? This causes problem for Windows users.

[vinnyrose]

This causes problems with all users, not just Windows. I've seen this trend recently with other distributions packing vagrantfiles in the boxes and it caused much confusion when one of our boxes worked one week but not the next. We now have to specify type: "virtualbox" in our VagrantFile, and though that type doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, it works fine.

They are using rsync because they don't have a license to distribute the guest additions iso.

Thanks for helping out @vinnyrose!
