    Hello,

    I have Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac Pro Edition 17.0.1 (51482) on a M1 Mac Big Sur 11.6.
    I succesfuly installed and mounted kali-linux-2021.3-installer-arm64 in Parallels.
    Unfortunately I am unable to share files between Mac and Kali. In Options->Sharing I selected "All disks" and I ticked all radiobuttons. On the security tab "Isolate Linux from Mac" is off.
    The proof of sharing being enabled should be that /media/psf or /mnt/psf are present from what I understand from the manual, but they are not there when I search for them in Terminal.
    B.t.w. Parallels Tools have not (yet) been installed.

    Did I miss something?

    I just noticed that Parallels currently supports Kali up to version 2021.2, not 2021.3.
    I downgraded to 2021.2 and tested again but I still can't share files between Mac and Kali. Still don't know how I can solve this. Anyone?
     
  3. I'm stuck but NOT using an M1 Mac.

    This also enabled the possibility to share files and folders.
