# How do I accept a Collab Sync request from another Mac?

When another Mac asks, Collab Sync shows “‹their Mac› wants to sync a folder with you”, with the folder's name, size and file count. Choose where on your Mac to keep it, then tap **Grant** — or **Decline**.

Nothing is created on your Mac until you grant it, and you always pick the location yourself.
