Bridge & your devices · Sharing folders
Can my Mac change files in a folder shared from my PC?
Short answer: Only if that folder is set to Read-write. Shared folders are read-only unless you allow editing, which lets your Mac change, add and delete files. Flip each folder's switch any time in the Bridge app's Shared Folders screen.
Only if you allow editing for that folder. Folders are read-only unless you choose otherwise: your Mac can browse them and copy files out, but not change them. Turn a folder's switch to Read-write (or add it with Add folder (allow editing)) and your Mac can edit, add, rename and delete files there.
You can flip the switch either way at any time in the Bridge app's Shared Folders screen. Read-only is the safer choice for folders you only need to read from.
