Right. If you map a drive letter to a folder on the Mac side then it's
just a folder that can store up to the available space on your physical
hard drive. I don't usually do that as I'm usually running Windows in my
VM and don't want it infecting my Mac with whatever it might have picked
up from somewhere.

As I recall, if you have the VM sharing, it doesn’t set an upper limit.

Right, but there is a limit to the expansion. So if you set up a
Windows VM with a 40GB automatically expanding drive Windows will say
it's a 40GB drive but on the Mac it might initially only use 10GB. As
you add apps and such it will grow but only up to 40GB. I've never run
into this but I assume Windows will start to complain when you get
near the limit. So how much free space do you currently have on your
mac HD?

Hi.
My VM is set to expand automatically. Both of my drives, data
and OS, are fairly crowded, so wondering which I should
concentrate on pruning.

Probably your virtual drive. When you first set up the virtual
machine you tell it how much of your Mac's disk space you will
allow it to use. In any case, you can quickly verify this by doing
Get Info (command-I) from the finder on your Mac's drive to find
out how much is left. If you really are out of room on your
virtual machine you'll need to do some cleanup. I suspect changing
the drive size of the virtual machine is a non-trivial bit of
work, as it is on any non-Mac machine.

Hi.
When I get an error stating my disk is nearly full, are they
referring to the disk the app is on, my OS drive, or the drive
the VM file is on, my Data drive? Thanks.
