I don't think they deprecated shared folders, only shared VMs (a function that enables Workstation to act as a virtualization server).

That’s a shame. I have a high-powered desktop and sometimes it’s nice to work from the patio by opening a few VMs on my laptop. I get the oomph of the big box with the mobility of the laptop.

To be fair, this feature always felt..rickety. But it was very nice.

You can still use remote desktop for accessing remote VMs.

You would be missing the remote power operations.

FWIW, I am working on a product called Vimarun [0] that is aimed to replace most of that missing functionality over time.

No remote power operations yet, but that will come.
