    Hi,
    I'm using Windows 10 as a Bootcamp drive on my university-provided MacBook. On this partition, I'm running Paragon HFS+ for Windows 10. To save space on the SSD and for having access on all my files from Windows 10 as well as MacOS Sierra, I've directed all the windows user folders (Documents, Downloads, etc.) and also OneDrive- and DropBox-folders to my MacOS-Sierra partition (Drive "D" booting in Bootcamp), meaning e.g. Windows Downloads folder points to MacOS Sierra Downloads folder. Also DropBox and OneDrive are configured using the respective folder on the Macintosh-Drive (located at User>DropBox and User>OneDrive)
    After having installed Parallels 12, everything still works fine booting directly into Bootcamp. Booting windows 10 using Parallels makes Drive "D" become unaccessible (asking me to format it). I know, I could use the Share-function of Parallels, but that created other drive letters, and I want to keep my infrastructure I've created (my User-folder under MacOS includes DropBox, OneDrive, and other folders, I want to point to), meaning I want to keep access on Drive "D" under Windows 10 using Parallels to keep my shortcuts alive under windows 10 (which is important especially for OneDrive and DropBox).
    I'd appreciate you having a solution for me.

    Thanks and best regards
