storage

Simple question... as of Parallels Desktop for Mac 18, and also in Parallels Desktop for Mac 19, what happened and [Apple] > About This Mac no longer shows the space occupied by VM bundles? It is now shown that the space is occupied by "Documents", which loses the more interesting and more...

Currently Parallels Desktop 19 for Mac Pro Edition only supports fixed disk images when adding a secondary disk to a macOS client vm. This means every time the secondary disk is used, the ENTIRE disk image is backed up by the host -- which will quickly fill up any backup storage system. Adding...

I am downloading something and got an error that said I ran out of disk space. I allocated more memory in the control center settings and added it to my partition. But my filesystem root is low on memory, and it's on another disk. What can I do add memory to it. Here are pictures for reference.

Hello I have a 128Gb dynamic disc image for my Windows 10 virtual machine. However, I cannot upgrade to Windows 11 as the installer checked whether the hardware is ok - it has sufficiently many cores and 4 Gb of RAM, I enabled the TPM, so all is ok here - but it states that storage is not...

We continue to be delighted by the performance and usefulness of Parallels, Windows for Arm on M1 Macs. However, as a regular user of snapshots prior to the regular Windows preview updates, I was shocked to see that my Mac's Home folder was showing red with 27Gb free out of the 1Tb disk within...

Hello, When I go on my storage monitor My MAC tells me that Parallels Desktop virtual machines use 61,74 GB of storage. And when I go to Document/Parallels I have a Windows10.pvm which use 61,74 GB too. So Parallels ends up using 123,48 GB storage space. Is it normal? Thanks

PD 15 has support for NVMe controllers. If we are migrating pre-PD15 virtual machines to PD15, is there anything that needs to be done to enable this option, or is it automatic? I did not see any option for explicitly enabling this in the settings.

Hey Everyone, I'm a rookie parallels user. I was hoping to use parallels for Autodesk applications on my Macbook Air, however it turned out I have priorities, storage space!! After installing Revit 2020 and AutoDesk on my computer I realized that my storage is almost full. Then, I decided to...

Both from backup, and internal storage optimization points of view, it will make lots of sense to create snapshots on external media: Have the VM itself on the Macs internal disk, and once the external backup disk is connected, create a snapshot and store on the external disk. Just like...
