Cannot save any file to a 'Shared Folder'

[elwayisgod]

Hi,

I have multiple VM's that use the same 'Shared Folders'.  I have them marked as 'Always Enabled', 'Map as network drive in Windows guests'.

From one VM, which is Win7, I can save files from Excel for example to both of the Shared Folder locations.

From other VM, which is Wn10, I cannot save any file.  I get an error 'Document Not Saved'.  So I have to save to Desktop and copy it to the 'Shared Folders'.   That works but very annoying.

Any ideas to resolve?

Thanks

I can save a .txt file through Notepad++ but not an Excel file.  Perhaps an Excel issue?  Weird as in Win7 I can save an Excel file just fine.

Wow.  I updated VMWare Tools by chance and now I can save an Excel file to the shared directories.  Pure luck as it just prompted me out of nowhere if I wanted to update VMWare Tools.
