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

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.

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**.

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