Finding things in Finder · Storage Studio in Finder's sidebar

\n

Where do folders shared from a device connected with Bridge show up in Finder?

\n

Short answer: Inside the Storage Studio location in Finder's sidebar, in a folder named after the device, showing only the folders you chose to share. An offline device is skipped until it's reachable again.

\n

Inside the Storage Studio location in Finder's sidebar, in a folder named after that device. Only the folders you chose to share on the other device appear.

\n

If you don't see it:

\n
  • Make sure the Finder location is on (Cloud Accounts → Mounting) and the device's own switch there is on.
  • Check the device is online and connected in Cloud Accounts → Devices. A device that's offline is simply skipped until it's reachable again; everything else still shows.
