Hello- Anyone else notice that opening files from a mac shared folder is both slow and unstable. This has been happening for years under parallels and through almost all the version. Symptoms: - Openning files from a shared mac folder into Windows is just slower... By about 20% than natively within the guest OS drive - Huge problem... opening large excel files displays a message the file is in use even though it is not. - This whole problem is amplified and very consistent if the shared folder is a mac dropbox folder Setup: - Version 10.3.0 (I've tried 11 and it still happens) - Mac OS 10.11.1 - But its done this with every mac os I've used - Windows 7 - everything 100% totally up to date- Again, this has always happened no matter what version of Win I use... even 10. Thoughts?
Hey Paul- Thanks for the help, but this article is referring not being able to get any access to shared cloud drives at all. I'm just noticing problems (slow) opening XLS files. Thanks.
