com.parallels.dragdrop
This is a LaunchAgent component of Parallels Desktop, the commercial virtualisation software for macOS. Parallels Desktop allows users to run Windows, Linux, and other operating systems natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs without rebooting, with seamless integration including shared file access, clipboard sharing, and drag-and-drop file operations between the host and guest systems. This particular LaunchAgent handles the drag-and-drop functionality between macOS and virtual machines.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a LaunchAgent helper bundled within Parallels Desktop and is not separately updatable. To ensure the drag-and-drop functionality receives any necessary Apple Silicon updates and remains compatible with future macOS versions, update Parallels Desktop itself to the latest version. You can do this by opening Parallels Desktop, going to the menu bar, and selecting Help → Check for Updates. Alternatively, visit Parallels' website to download the current build and reinstall. As of May 2026, Parallels Desktop has shipped native Apple Silicon support for several years, so your drag-and-drop agent should already be running natively on M-series Macs if Parallels Desktop itself is up to date.
