    Hi,

    So I've installed Google Drive on my MAC OS and tried the "sharing cloud folders with Windows" option and I only see my iCloud folder.
    I've tried to reinstall Parallels Tools and still it doesn't work.

    When I try to select a specific folder from my Google Drive folder using the 'Managed Folder' option it does work, but if I loose connection to Google Drive - it gets disconnected and I need to reselect the folders again.

    I'm using Parallels Version 18.1.1 (53328) and running Win11 Pro - 22H2 version 22621.1105

    Hope you guys will be able to help me out, my workflow is very complex as a result of this issue.

    Hello
    I am having a similar issues and I beleive it related to the M1 / M2 Chipset. I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel i5 chip running Paralles Ver. 18.3.2 and I can access my google drive but I also have a MacMini with an M1 chip running Paralles Ver. 18.3.2 and I CANNOT access my google drive. Parallels any plan on the M1 updates?

    Same issue on a Mac running OS 13.6 with an Intel i7 chip. It's not just a silicon chip problem.

    And I should add ... Windows 10 on the VM. I have followed the instructions to enable the hypervisor extension in Sys Prefs, I have reinstalled Parallels, restarted the Mac when prompted during Parallels installation, reinstalled Parallel Tools. No Google Drives from the Mac side are shared to Windows. I finally had to install GD on the Windows side, which just seems wrong. This definitely happened after I made a big upgrade from 10.16 to 13.6, and the sidebar shortcuts for my 3 Google accounts moved to Locations.
