Cady,

I’m not sure what you are asking exactly but here are two potential replies/suggestons:

1) Dropbox is a great idea. But you don’t need to use it between the virtual machine and the Mac. These literally share files over a virtual network and all of the files can be stored in a folder on the Mac and accessed from the virtual machine. Since I use VirtualBox and not Parallels, I can’t tell you exactly how to do it but I know its possible. So if you are transferring files any other way between these two (and I’m not sure if I understood whether you were or not), I think you will find that this is much more efficient.

2) You sound like you like the software you are using but my own experience doing this type of thing led me to a variety of cross platform applications. A search of the posts to this forum will give you quite a list. My own favorite was PersonalBrain. Using just one or two programs like that might be too limited for you but installing this and using it on all of the machines was a good answer to my own problems. I’ve since moved on to us the Mac “virtually” 90% of the time so I’m currently using Mac only software.
