Hi,
I'm using the following HW and SW: Mac 21'' late 2013, updated to 16 GB of RAM and SSD disk of 1 TB (yes, it goes like a rocket!), Parallels 13.3.2, host OS is High Sierra 10.13.5 and guest is Windows 10 Pro 64 bits updated to its last version, all three in Spanish language.
I'm experiencing a sudden and unexpected problem after months of trouble-free running of the same configuration. The problem is that my shared Desktop and Download user folders don't appear to be shared anymore. The host desktop is different to the guest desktop and the host download folder is different to the guest download folder... but they were the same until this morning and I'm not aware of having changed anything.
However, I still can access all folders in the Mac (including desktop and download folder) through the network connections in Windows.
My sharing settings are (and, as I said earlier, I'm not aware of having changed anything):
Mac sharing:
- share folders: share home folders
- Personalised folders: Documents, Images and a folder in the local network server
- share profile: on
- configure: desktop and download on, all others off; recycle bin on
- share cloud folders: on
- Map Mac volumes to Windows: off
- Advanced settings: assign letter: on --- allow executables: off --- permit file names DOS 8.3: on
Windows sharing:
- Access Windows folders from Mac: on
- Share OneDrive with Mac: on
- Advanced settings: share Windows network with Mac: off --- share Windows connected units with Mac: on
(not sure the names of the settings in English are correct, but I imagine you can understand)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Parallels, reinstalled Parallels tools in Windows and restored Windows to a point before the problem, to no avail. I have not, though, uninstalled and reinstalled Windows and I'd prefer to avoid it, since I'd have plenty of SW to uninstall and reinstall.
Could someone be so kind to tell me what could be happening?
Thanks a lot for your help.
