[Question] Parallels Toolbox (Mac): Useful or Bloatware? (self.apple)

I have run Parallels for several years (mostly to do yearly business taxes), and I have resisted installing the Parallels Toolbox because I am wary of such things.

Nonetheless, I am curious about it and was wanting to know if anyone actually uses (and likes, or hates) it?

I’d say it’s mostly garbage. It introduces annoying pop-ups. You can turn them off but it’s grating.

E.g. every time you connect to a new screen it asks to go into presentation mode.

I’d say anything parallels toolbox can do, I can find an open source tool which can do it better. Sort of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Though I could see it being useful for a non-power user that is afraid of installing software.
