    On the host or on the guest? I am still not having any luck after adding my user on the host to the group associated with my home directory. Do I need to grant group write access to everything in my home directory in order for parallels shared directory to work?

    Host:
    $ ls -ld /Users/bangelo/
    drwxr-xr-x+ 66 bangelo staff 2244 Oct 7 09:00 /Users/bangelo/
    $ id | tr ',' '\n' | grep staff
    20(staff)​

    Guest:
    $ id
    uid=1000(bangelo) gid=1000(bangelo) groups=1000(bangelo),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),108(netdev),111(bluetooth),118(scanner)
    $ ls -ld /media/
    drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 29 09:13 /media/
    $ ls -ld /media/psf
    dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 7 09:02 /media/psf
    $ ls -ld /media/psf/Home
    drwxr-xr-x 1 bangelo nogroup 2244 Oct 7 09:00 /media/psf/Home
    $ touch /media/psf/Home/test
    touch: cannot touch '/media/psf/Home/test': Permission denied​
