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

Morning and please advise as per above, I am using parallel desktop 11, thanks

 

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.

 

thanks and do I need to install the Parallel Tools first ? How can I know if I install Parallels Tool or not, as I see from the above, reinstall the Parallels Tools from CD/DVD but I bought the Parallel desktop 11 from internet, what can I do...Sorry to ask so many question as I am quite new in Parallel, thanks

 

Hi RayC2,
It is not required to have a CD/DVD to install Parallels Tools.
Kindly follow the steps as given in the article : http://kb.parallels.com/115835 to install Parallels Tools.
When prompted to install Parallels Tools from CD/DVD, just click on continue and you should be able to have Parallels Tools installed on your Virtual Machine.
