    I have been using Parallels since 2008 and haven't ever had this problem before.
    Today I tried to drag a word file from a folder in my virtual PC onto the Mac desktop. Each time I tried to do it I got this dialog:
    "File Explorer would like to access a file on a network volume". I clicked OK but nothing happened.
    I have tried this with other documents in other PC folders with the same result.
    Only once did it work - on that occasion I got a dialog saying "the source and destination volumes are the same', and I clicked 'skip', and the document was saved on the Mac desktop. I can't reproduce that.
    This is really irritating. I am using:
    MacBook Pro with M1 Max chip, Parallels 17 and the ARM version of Windows 11.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Tom
