Using Parallels desktop 14, Macbook with Mojave, Windows 10
Parrallels was created to point to windows on pre-existing Boot camp

Files i add while in Parallels don't show up under bootcamp

I boot into Windows from Bootcamp
In the windows folder: c:\users\myuser\Downloads
I can add files to it from within Windows booted from bootcamp

I then boot into mac and run Paraells
Those files are present in the windows folder c:\users\myuser\Downloads
I then add new files to that same folder while in Mac/Parallels

I restart machine, and go back into Windows from boot-camp..
I can not see the files added to that folder from Parallels

I then go back to Mac and Parallels... I still see all files.. those added while I was in boot-camp, and while i was with Mac/Parallels
 
Hi LucianoB1, when you are in Mac side open VM configuration > Options > Sharing check if profile sharing is enabled. If it is enabled then when you use the VM all the files saved on My Downloads, My Documents, Desktop will be on the Desktop, Documents, Downloads folders on the Mac side. It cannot be viewed when you are using Bootcamp directly.
