Bridge & your devices · Sharing folders
Should I share a whole drive or just a folder over Bridge?
Short answer: Share only the folders you need. Bridge works folder by folder, each read-only or read-write, so keeping shares small limits what the Mac can reach and change. You can add more folders any time.
Share only the folders you actually need on your Mac. Bridge lets you pick folders one at a time, and each can be read-only or read-write — sharing less keeps what your Mac can reach small and easy to follow, and keeps read-write access limited to places you mean to change.
A good pattern is a project or documents folder, read-only unless you need to edit from the Mac. You can add more folders any time.
