    In a prior update, I was able to access my Mac files with Parallels. However, no matter what I do, Windows can no longer access Mac files Screen Shot 2020-03-14 at 9.59.57 AM.jpg
    These are the settings I chose to make sure that Mac files can be accessed.

    But the Mac files shortcut appears as a blank icon, and when I double click it, I get an error saying that it can't be accessed.
    I've never had this problem before. What should I do?

    Hello @JaredL2, please install Parallels Tools as followed by this KB article and see if it works: https://kb.parallels.com/115835

    The Install Parallels Tools action says "Reinstall Parallels Tools" on my end.

    Also, the reinstalling of Parallels Tools worked. Thank you for the help.
