You can sync files between two Macs. There are several methods you can use to accomplish this, depending on your specific needs and preferences. In this answer, I will discuss three popular options: iCloud, Dropshare, and Google Drive.
1. iCloud:
ICloud is Apple’s cloud storage service that allows you to sync files and data across multiple devices, including Macs. To sync files between two Macs using iCloud, you need to ensure that both Macs are signed in to the same iCloud account.
Here’s how you can set up iCloud file syncing between two Macs:
– On each Mac, go to System Preferences and click on Apple ID.
– Make sure you are signed in using the same Apple ID on both Macs.
– In the Apple ID settings, click on iCloud and enable iCloud Drive.
– On each Mac, go to Finder and open iCloud Drive. This will create an iCloud Drive folder on each Mac.
– Simply drag and drop files into the iCloud Drive folder, and they will automatically sync across both Macs.
2. Dropshare:
Dropshare is a third-party app that allows you to sync files securely between two Macs over a local network or the internet. It provides features like end-to-end encryption and customizable file sharing options.
To sync files between two Macs using Dropshare, you need to follow these steps:
– Install Dropshare on both Macs. You can download it from the Mac App Store or the developer’s website.
– Launch Dropshare and configure your preferences, including the sync method (local network or cloud storage), encryption settings, and destination folders.
– On the source Mac, select the files or folders you want to sync, right-click, and choose the “Share” option. From the sharing options, select Dropshare.
– Choose the destination Mac from the list of available devices and click “Send.” The files will be securely transferred and synced to the destination Mac.
3. Google Drive:
Google Drive is a popular cloud storage service that allows you to sync and access files from anywhere. To sync files between two Macs using Google Drive, you need to have a Google account and install the Google Drive app on both Macs.
Here’s how you can set up Google Drive file syncing between two Macs:
– Install the Google Drive app on both Macs. You can download it from the Google Drive website.
– Sign in to the Google Drive app using your Google account credentials.
– On each Mac, you can choose which folders you want to sync with Google Drive. By default, the Google Drive folder will be created in your home directory.
– Simply drag and drop files into the Google Drive folder, and they will automatically sync across both Macs.
Syncing files between two Macs can be accomplished using various methods. iCloud, Dropshare, and Google Drive are popular options that provide different features and capabilities. Choose the method that best suits your needs based on factors such as security, storage capacity, and ease of use.
