Share Windows OneDrive Folders with macOS
If you're using Microsoft OneDrive to store files in the cloud, you can easily share your OneDrive folders with macOS. Then you can upload or download OneDrive files in macOS without duplicating any of the files on your hard disk.
Notes:
1. To share OneDrive folders with macOS, the OneDrive desktop app must be installed in Windows. If you're using the preinstalled Windows 8 OneDrive app, OneDrive folders are not shared because this app doesn't create any local folders and works directly with the cloud storage.
2. This feature is available only when Parallels Tools are installed in Windows.
To share your Windows OneDrive folders with macOS, do the following:
- If OneDrive isn't already set up in Windows, set it up. For more information, go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/download.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the Parallels icon
in the menu bar and choose Configure. - If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Actions > Configure.
- Click Options and select Sharing > Share Windows.
- Select Access Windows folders from Mac and Share OneDrive with Mac.
- In the macOS Finder, choose Finder > Preferences and select Connected servers.
- Open the Finder and select All in the Shared section.
- Find and expand your virtual machine.
Note: The virtual machine must be running.
- Double-click the OneDrive disk. The disk gets mounted and shown on the desktop.
- Drag the OneDrive disk from the desktop to the Favorites section in the Finder.
