Parallels 12 - MS Office not saving to NTFS Drive

[simong4]

I have installed Parallels 12 and Windows 10 and all has been working well opening exiting MS Office docs and saving with Parallels operating, automatically. This morning it has become impossible to save edited MS office document back to opening location because it is an external NTFS drive.


I do have another drive which I have formatted to EX FAT and it works on both MAC and Windows, but I want to be able to edit existing files on HDD and save back to where I opened from with no issues.

HELP!!!!

We would like to know how the external drive is connected to Windows. If you are using it as a shared drive from Mac side then you cannot write on an NTFS drive as it is Mac OS limitation but if you connect the drive directly to Windows using the option Devices > External Devices > select USB external drive then you can write on an NTFS drive.
