    I have a mid 2014 MBP and a 2017 iMac Pro, both running MacOS 10.14.4 and Parallels Desktop Pro 14.1.3. Both are using iCloud Drive, with a Px folder syncing across both machines. When I Share Custom Folders on the MBP I can drill down to a sub folder of Px with no problems. But on the IMP I can drill down and select the sub folder, but what actually get's referenced is the root iCloud folder. Given that I am pathing scripts in the Windows guest OS based on these shares, this causes a problem. I need both to share with the same paths.
    Any ideas what the issue is? maybe/hopefully a setting in Parallels I am missing. Or maybe a setting in MacOS. Hopefully NOT an issue with parallels not handling the SSD set in the IMP the same way as the single SSD in the MBP.

    I should add, it looks like a Parallels issue, as I tried making a SymLink in my home folder to that Px folder, and then referencing that SymLink as a share. Parallels jacked it up and referenced the home folder, not the SymLink, and then doesn't follow the symlink properly anyway.
