How do I send a file from my Mac to my Windows PC with Bridge?

\n

Short answer: With “Share my clipboard” on for the PC, copy the file or folder in Finder. It appears in the PC's Junk Yard; click the scrap to copy it and paste, or preview it and choose Open in Explorer.

\n

Turn on Share my clipboard with … for the PC, then copy the file or folder in Finder (Command-C). It arrives in the PC's Junk Yard as a scrap.

\n

On the PC, click the scrap to copy it — pasting then drops the real file — or double-click to preview it and use Open in Explorer. Large files arrive as a scrap you open to receive, so nothing big moves until you ask for it.
