Can't access Desktop/Downloads/Documents of Host Mac

Parallels Version 17.1.4 (51567)
Mac Host & Guest: macOS Monterey (12.5)
Connecting to the Host via Finder/Locations (signing in/connecting as the Admin on the Host).

I cannot access the contents of the Desktop/Downloads/Documents of the Host machine from the Guest VM. I can, however, access Pictures or other directories. Get Info on Downloads shows my VM User as having Read-Write privileges, same as Pictures.

Any ideas? Thanks! M
 
Hello @MikeDPas, The Apple silicon (M1/ M2) chips Macs have limitations that File sharing between the main system and a macOS ARM VM is not supported. This includes consequential features such as drag-and-drop. However, you can share files between the virtual machine and the Mac using the native macOS file sharing feature as you would between two physical Mac computers.
