Thanks to both you and Hannah. I think I may have found a work-around while searching the developer forum. I'll pursue that for now.

Dropbox team ... given how much money I am paying for my team to use this product ... and that they use Apple computers with Windows VM's .. "and the like". How about you let us know when you will provide support for what is a simple set-up and one for the future not the past ... "and the like". We moved an entire company away from Fusion to Parallels for ... "and the like" support practices. We have been looking very hard at moving away from Dropbox for this same reason to Microsoft. It would be great to see some of that historical service orientation return to Dropbox rather than "we don't support your set up ... and the like.". Thank you.

Personally, while I love Dropbox and have used it for many years without any issues, when it didn't work with Windows 11 on Parallels on my M1 and M2 MacBook Pro computers, I switched to Sync.com. So far it's working pretty nicely. And it has no issue with Windows 11 on Parallels.
If Dropbox ever starts supporting Windows 11 or newer on Parallels, I'll definitely consider moving back. But for the time being, Sync.com is just fine!
