# How do I connect a Windows PC to my Mac with Bridge?

Install Storage Studio Bridge on the PC, read the connecting code it shows, type that code into the Devices tab on your Mac, click **Pair**, and check that the six-digit Tunnel Code matches on both screens.

1. On the PC, install and open **SS Bridge**. It shows a connecting code in three groups, like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
2. On the Mac, open Storage Studio's **More** menu → **Connect Accounts…** → **Devices** tab.
3. Type the code under **Connect a device** and click **Pair**.
4. A six-digit **Tunnel Code** appears on both the Mac and the PC. If they match, confirm — you're linked.

After that, add folders to share on the PC, and turn on **Share my clipboard** if you want clipboard sharing.
