How can I add either a shared or mirrored (still not clear on which I should be using or the difference for that matter) Documents folder from my Mac OSX (10.9.5) to the Win 7 Library\Documents folder. I'm using VMware Fusion 6.0.5.
I spent an hour and 13 minutes on the phone with VMware tech support and unfortunately they had no idea. Win 7 does not seem to like that the shared Documents folder from OSX is a "network" drive even though it is really on the same hard drive. Because it is seen as a network location Win 7 is unable to index the files and therefore seems to have issues with accessing the files. Namely, Quickbooks Pro will not open a company file because it thinks the files are on a server. Which means you then need to install and run some Quickbooks server software which of course does not run on OSX.
I also seem to have issues with other software saving files when they are opened from the "shared" location versus navigating to the network location.
If anyone can direct me on the best way to share the Documents folder from OSX to a Win 7 VM to allow the Windows programs to operate correctly I would greatly appreciate it. I've been searching for an answer to this for quite some time now and I can't imaging I am the only one having this issue.
Thanks,
David
