Can Windows OS using Parallels on Mac work?

I use Mac , Parallel Desktop on Mac, another windows PC desktop and iPhone. I have all my file stored on Dropbox, read/write from any of my devices. If update to dropbox "Provider file for Mac" all data on Mac goes to another folder position that I suppose is not reachable on Windows Desktop Pc's

Any suggestion? It is possibile to set off notification that always shows on my Mac? Thanks

    Hi @mausoftware, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Does the Windows OS detect the Dropbox folder on the Mac OS, or is there a separate folder located in Windows? Could you clarify exactly how this works?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Dear Jay,

      folders are
      on mac /Users/mauriziosalzano/Dropbox

      on Parallel Desktop (mac) windows is \\Mac\Dropbox

      on windows desktop Pc is C:\users\STUDIO\Dropbox

        So, just to clarify again, are you trying to get the Windows installation to see the Dropbox folder which is stored on a Mac volume, or is there a separate Dropbox folder for the Windows installation? 

         

        Is the path for the Windows folder a symlink or alias to the Mac Dropbox folder?
