Bridge & your devices · Sharing folders

\n

Where do folders shared from a Bridge device appear on my Mac?

\n

Short answer: In Finder's sidebar under Locations, open Storage Studio — each device has a folder named after it. If it's missing, check the Mounting tab in Connect Accounts has the drive switched on and that device ticked.

\n

In Finder, inside the Storage Studio location, in a folder named after the device. The Storage Studio location sits in Finder's sidebar under Locations, beside your cloud accounts.

\n

If you don't see it, make sure the drive is on: open Connect Accounts… → Mounting tab, check it's switched on and that the device is ticked to appear. A device that's offline is skipped until it's back.
