    Hi,

    Kind of a weird one, perhaps, because there's already a capability to view my Mac files from windows, but I really need to be able to view the contents of my windows filesystem from my Mac (i.e. from Finder).

    Our company uses Groove folder shares as a way of sharing certain folders between on-the-move people rather than connect back to a VPN. I can run Groove from within Windows under Parallels, but in order to then edit files on the Mac (as I prefer to do), I need to copy them to a Parallels share folder from Windows, edit them in Mac OS X and then copy them back - a real pain!

    Is there any way to do this? Presumably it must be possible "under the hood", as I can drag and drop files from Mac to Windows folders, but how can I mount/get access to this filesystem from Mac OS X?

    Many thanks in advance for your help,

    Miro

    Ah... And when might this be due?

    Hmm - in the meantime I've figured out a way to do this. I can create a windows networking share of the folder I need to share back to the mac and then mount it as a samba share. Seems to work ok...

    Smart solution ;)
    Sorry, but I can't tell you precise date of our next release - it's not public information yet. All I can say is: "soon enough!" :)
