So some of the Parallels Toolbox tools are cool - Download Video, and maybe Convert Video as two examples - but I don't really understand why most of the others exist. macOS can already archive/unarchive zip files directly in Finder, and we have the popular Unarchiver for other formats. macOS comes with Grab for screenshots, and you can lock macs with a keyboard shortcut/screen zone.
Maybe I'm missing something. Is the Parallels Toolbox archiver compression better than the built-in compression? That sort of thing? Or maybe it's just nice having everything in one place? That's probably it. Just checking to see if I'm missing something here. Not complaining!
EDIT: I may have answered my own question, after reading the top post in this forum that says:
Parallels Toolbox is a collection of essential tools that you're sure to find useful as you work with your Mac. Toolbox provides quick access to many common functions that are either hidden, require hard-to-remember keyboard shortcuts, or are otherwise not available.
So it's that simple. Thanks!
