Can I drag and drop files between Mac and Parallel Windows ?

Hi RayC2,
Yes, you can drag and drop the files between the Mac and Windows Virtual Machine.
Please follow the steps below to enable Shared Folders Tool:
  1. Open virtual machine window (Do not click Start).
  2. Open virtual machine configuration > switch to Options tab > Sharing.
  3. Tick Shared Profile checkbox
If you face any issues in sharing the files between your Mac and Windows VM, try re-installing Parallels Tools ( http://kb.parallels.com/4841 ) and check how it works.
