Can I get ransomware attack while using parallels desktop that affects my files on iCloud?

Hi,

I am wondering that when I use Windows in Parallels desktop, Ransomware can attack my files that are on iCloud (Desktop and Documents) which I mutually use both in MacOS and Windows or not.

(I bought iCloud storages for using files on many devices.)

Yes.


To share files, I recommend using a much more restricted area. It should absolutely never be under any kind of sync control like an iCloud folder.
