Bridge & your devices · Clipboard sharing
How does Bridge handle large files I copy?
Short answer: Large files arrive as a “Click to receive” scrap and only transfer when you click it. Both sides show progress, an interrupted transfer can resume, and an unreceived scrap stays receivable after a restart.
A large file doesn't move until you ask for it. The other device gets a scrap that says Click to receive (its tooltip reads Large file — open to receive over Bridge); clicking it fetches the file.
While it comes across, both sides show a progress bar and percentage, plus three status dots: red for waiting or failed, yellow for sending, green for done. If the transfer is interrupted, it can pick up where it left off. A not-yet-received scrap stays receivable after a restart too.
For files you'll use often, sharing a folder can be easier than copying them one by one.
