# How do I share a folder from my Mac with another Mac?

Pair the two Macs first, then on the device's row in the Devices tab click **Add folder…** under **Folders you share with …** and pick the folders. They appear on the other Mac inside its Storage Studio location in Finder, in a folder named after your Mac.

New shares are read-only. Flip a folder's **Write** switch on if the other Mac should be able to change files. The red minus stops sharing it.

This is only available between two Macs running Storage Studio — a Windows Bridge shares its folders to your Mac but doesn't open yours.
