    I recently upgraded to 12.1.3. Since doing this I have lost access to all Mac files on the Windows VM. I am also not able to save any files, as there is no space available - it seems I have lost full access to the Macs hard drive. How can I fix this? I have tried reverting to an older version, and this made no difference

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried this and it made no difference. I am still receiving the same error message 'Windows cannot access //mac/home/desktop' etc when I try and access mac files

    I've tried the steps as advised, and is still not working. I tried the basic and advanced steps, I could only see 'Desktop' in the terminal and not 'Desktop -> /Users/Parallels/Dropbox/Desktop/'
