Bridge & your devices · The Bridge app on your PC

\n

What are the tabs in the Bridge app for?

\n

Short answer: Home shows your code and status; Shared Folders, Devices, Activity and Junk Yard cover folders, the paired Mac, transfer history and clipboard scraps; Settings and Help hold options, answers and Check for updates.

\n

Bridge has seven tabs:

\n
  • Home — your connecting code and connection status.
  • Shared Folders — folders you share with your Mac, each read-only or read-write.
  • Devices — the Mac you're paired with, with Disconnect and Forget.
  • Activity — speed, totals, charts and a log of everything sent and received.
  • Junk Yard — your clipboard scraps, including ones from your Mac.
  • Settings — clipboard, startup and appearance options.
  • Help — answers to common questions and Check for updates.
