📂 How to Create and Access File Shares on a Mac | Step-by-Step Guide 🖥️

In today's tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of setting up a file share on a Mac and how to access that file share from another Mac. Whether you're looking to share files across your own devices or with others on the same network, this guide has you covered!

🔹 Creating a File Share on Mac:

  1. Access System Settings: Click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen, then select "System Settings."
  2. Enable File Sharing: Under the "General" tab, navigate to the "Sharing" section and turn on "File Sharing."
  3. Choose a Folder to Share: Click the "+" icon to add a folder you want to share. For this example, I've chosen a folder named "Shared Data."
  4. Set Permissions: You can control who has access to this folder by adjusting the read/write permissions. You can even add specific accounts for tailored access.

🔹 Accessing a File Share from Another Mac:

  1. Open Finder: Navigate to the "Network" section in Finder to view available devices.
  2. Connect to a Shared Folder: Select the Mac with the shared folder, click "Connect As," and enter the necessary credentials.
  3. Access Files: Once connected, you'll see all the folders you're allowed to access, including any public or shared folders.

🔹 Tips:

  • Custom Permissions: You can set folders to be read-only, write-only (like a Dropbox), or full read/write access depending on your needs.
  • Public Folders: These are great for less sensitive files you want to share across your local network without complex setups.
