\n

Which places can I transfer files between?

\n

Short answer: Any direction between local folders, your external drive, connected cloud accounts (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Amazon S3, FTP, SFTP) and paired devices. Web links can be a download source.

\n

Almost any pair: a folder on your Mac, a folder on your external drive, any cloud account you've connected, another device paired with Bridge, and — for downloads — a web link. You can go in any direction between any two of them, including from one cloud account straight to another.

\n

Cloud accounts you connect yourself include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, bucket storage such as Amazon S3, FTP and SFTP. Add them first under Connect Accounts…, then they appear in the cloud picker beside the Source and Destination fields.

\n

A web link can only be a source (Download), and a paired device appears only while it's connected.
