# Can I put files onto my PC by dragging them into its folder on my Mac?

Yes, if that folder is shared as **Read-write**. Drag files into it in Finder's Storage Studio location and they're written to the PC.

If the folder is read-only, the Mac can only browse and copy out of it — switch the folder to **Read-write** in the Bridge app's **Shared Folders** screen first. The PC also needs to be connected at the time.
