If you do not mind disabling Isolate Windows from Mac on the guest's configuration Security panel, that will enable you to Share a designated Mac folder with Windows 11 on the guests's configuration Option panel using Manage Folders… where you could add [+] a Custom folder from your Mac. I would leave the General items (e.g. the Mac's hostname and your username) unselected.
When you launch Windows 11 in Parallels, you will see a new folder on your Windows 11 Desktop named "Mac Files" and if you double-click that, it will reveal the folder you are sharing from the Mac. File transfer should be straightforward.
Tested: Parallels Desktop Pro v26.3.0 (new today), Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (ARM), Tahoe 26.4.
