Hi All:
I recently was given a new macbook pro as my office computer and have been slowly chipping away at the learning curve that one would naturally expect with switching to a mac.
With a bit of research, I've solved nearly every quirk that I've encountered, but there is one that I cannot overcome.
Does anybody know how to make files and folders on a windows based (e.g. SMB based) show up on the mac? I can literally click on a folder in Finder and it will say "0 items" down at the bottom, then switch over to Fusion, open the same folder, and see all of the files and subj-folders in all their glory.
Consequently, I have to open fusion, browse to the folder I want, copy the folder to a shared/synced location, switch back to the mac side, browse to the shared/synced location, and then open the file or folder that I require.
Surely there is an easy way to fix this, but what that is, I do not know.
Any assistance would be most appreciated! I realize that I'm new to this forum, but I appreciate your assistance nevertheless.
