How do I copy files from my Windows PC to my Mac with Bridge?

\n

Short answer: Share the folder in the Bridge app and drag files out of it in Finder's Storage Studio location, or turn on Share my clipboard and copy files on the PC — they appear in your Mac's Junk Yard, ready to paste.

\n

There are two ways. For whole folders, share the folder in the Bridge app, then open it on your Mac in Finder's Storage Studio location and drag the files wherever you like. For a quick one-off, turn on Share my clipboard and copy the file on the PC — it arrives in your Mac's Junk Yard, where clicking the scrap copies it, ready to paste into a Finder folder.

\n

Large files copied this way arrive as a Click to receive scrap and transfer when you click.
