How do I pair two Macs that both run Storage Studio?

\n

Short answer: On one Mac, open Devices → Share with another Mac → Allow a new Mac to connect and note the code. Type it into Connect a device on the other Mac, click Pair, then Confirm when the codes match on both Macs.

\n

On one Mac, open the Devices tab and use Let another Mac connect to this one to show a connection code; type that code into Connect a device on the other Mac, then confirm the matching code on both.

\n
  1. Mac A: More → Connect Accounts… → Devices → open Share with another Mac → Allow a new Mac to connect. Note Your connection code.
  2. Mac B: type that code under Connect a device and click Pair.
  3. Mac A shows “Mac B wants to connect” with a code to compare. If it matches Mac B's screen, click Confirm.
\n

Once paired, each Mac can share folders with the other, and you can mirror a folder with Collab Sync.
