Bridge & your devices · Clipboard sharing

What do the red, yellow and green dots on a Bridge scrap mean?

Short answer: Red means waiting to be received or failed, yellow means it's moving right now, and green means it arrived. Click a red scrap to receive it, or click again after a failure once both devices are connected.

They show where a file is in its trip between devices:

  • Red — waiting to be received, or the transfer failed.
  • Yellow — sending or receiving right now.
  • Green — done.

A red scrap that hasn't been received yet just needs a click to fetch it. If one failed, make sure both devices are still connected and click it again.
