Can two Bridge apps connect to each other without a Mac?

\n

Short answer: No. Every Bridge link has Storage Studio on a Mac at one end. The Bridge app connects to Storage Studio, not to another Bridge app, so two PCs can't link to each other with it.

\n

No. A Bridge app always connects to Storage Studio on a Mac — not to another Bridge app. One end of every link is a Mac running Storage Studio on macOS 13 or later.

\n

If you have two Macs, both can run Storage Studio and pair with each other directly; a Windows PC pairs with a Mac using the Bridge app.
