Hi there. I'm using Parallels and I have the Shared Profile enabled, but my Downloads folder is not synced to the Windows guest because my Downloads is a symlink/alias under my Home folder on OS X. This is because I have moved my Downloads folder to another drive, since my main drive is an SSD. Under \\psf\Home, the Downloads folder shows up as a Windows shortcut to a non-existent location. Is there a way to make this work properly? -Zack
That works, and at least I can see the content in Windows, but the Shared Profile still isn't working. So now I have \\psf\Downloads instead of \\psf\Home\Downloads. Is there a way to map C:\Users\Zack\Downloads to \\psf\Downloads like the Shared Profile integration would?
Got it! HAHA! I got it! What I did was this. I followed YanaYana's instructions and shared the folder through Parallels. Then, in Windows, I opened up an Administrator command prompt, and ran: move C:\Users\Zack\Downloads "C:\Users\Zack\Downloads (2)" mklink /D C:\Users\Zack\Downloads \\psf\Downloads This moves the Windows downloads folder out of the way and creates a symbolic link to the Parallels share. Works like a charm! Thanks again for the help
