Transferring data from Mac to virtual PC in Parallels...

[davekaye101]

I need to transfer some files from my Mac to the virtual PC inside that runs thru parallels. My hard drive is only being detected by the Mac and not the PC - is there a way that I can make it visible to the PC, or do I have to resort to a Plan B? Something like mailing across the files and then checking my mail account from the virtual PC?

Thanks!

Parallels has a built-in mechanism for file transfer between the VM and the host -- select 'Edit' in the main Parallels window and then go to 'Shared folders' and enable it.

I also believe that you can just drag and drop.

Nope, can't drag and drop but the shared folder set up sorted things out. Thanks for that!
