Use dropbox on Mac and Windows virtual environment (Parallels)
Hello,
I have a MacBook Air version macOS Monterey 12.5.1 with a chip M1.
I have downloaded and installed the Dropbox app on my Mac, but I can't see it on my Windows environment with Parallels desktop.
How can I use the Microsoft files on Dropbox on the Windows virtual environment?
Thanks for your help

It should just appear as a navigatable folder - it always has done on mine under the folder 'Mac Files'
Hi Mark,
Yes indeed it should, but it doesn't.
I am wondering if it has to do with the S mode of Windows. On my virtual Windows environment, the Windows 11 is not activate, and when I try to download the Dropbox app, it says I can only download Dropbox for S mode.
Is there a way to go around it, so I can see the files in "Mac files" as I should?
Thanks for your help

Hi audrey111, as you're running Windows on a Mac with an M1 chip, this is an ARM chip, which isn't supported for the Dropbox desktop application on Windows.
