Thank you so much! Did you keep the transfer folder in your downloads so whatever went in didn't sync with iCloud? With that being said, can I share a folder on an external drive (thats always connected)? Also, is that a static IP? Basically I want that connection to always be available without having to go through these steps every time. Thanks again!

Hi Ronnie, I would like to transfer a 250 Gb file from a Mac (Ventura 13.2.1) to a Windows 11 computer. The wireless transfer stops at some point --presumably due to the large file size. Would it be possible to connect both computers with a Thunderbolt cable and do a wired transfer? Thank you!

hi there!! You lost me there when you typed the address of your mac from windows. Well, from apple, preference, on FILE SHARING it somehow says "Other users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at smb://macbook-air.bbrouter." So, when you go to your windows to get to your mac address is that what i need to write ==>mackbook-air.bbrouter? Doesn't look right. :(( You seemed to write like an ip address. How do we get the ip address of which computer??? I'm so confused. Please help.

do both mac and windos have to be online at the same time? if they have to be on and online this wont work on a mac with a partition with windows 10 since you have to turn off one to use the other right?

Verify you can ping the machine you're accessing first, after changing back to the wifi. If you don't have connectivity, you will not be able to do this. I would check that first.

this works with decent speed, but is there a way for this process to carried out by ethernet cable from mac to pc?

@ITProTv 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure what you mean, both machines where on the same network connected to the same ethernet switches. If you mean to directly attach a cable to both machines. You would need a crossover cable. You will still need to configure both computers to be on the same subnet and verify IP connectivity.

@Calebjoyemusic 4 жыл бұрын

Very helpful! Thanks guys! The only hangup I had was typing the forward-slash (the exact IP address from mac) instead of back-slash in the windows search box to connect. Why is it that even though your IP address on mac starts with a forward-slash, you must use a back-slash to actually connect?

@ITProTv 4 жыл бұрын

It's just windows syntax requires the \. It's the difference between systems but the smb protocol is supported by both! macOS is Unix based which uses /.

Hi! I wonder where are the deleted files goes from the shared folder between mac and windows?

@ITProTv 3 жыл бұрын

If they have been transferred to the Windows computer and no longer exist on the macOS machine. Then they would be in the Windows Recycle Bin. If you're talking about deleting them from the shared folder while connected, well that would probably be one of two places on the machine hosting the shared folder. Either in the trash bin or permanently deleted.

everything about this works up until the point where I enter the ip address of my mac into the Windows Run function. It pops up a window telling me to choose an app to run rather than a windows requesting login credentials to connect to my MacBook. Anyone have an idea of why this would happen?

@ITProTv 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure...but I would check that when you type the IP address in the Windows search box. Please check and see if you're typing: \\192.168.X.X or //192.168.X.X. In the Windows world, the first one is for SMB file share. The second one is not.

@timetravelvictim 3 жыл бұрын

It works but the file transfer speed is so slow. Is there a way to speed this up?

Unfortunately there's not a way to make it faster, it just depends on your internet and network connection.

You lost me at "Microsoft Remote Access" LOCATED ON YOUR MAC. Where did that come from? Is it an app available in the Mac App Store? I want to transfer a huge folder of image files on my MacBook Pro to my new PC workstation. I thought this video would show me how to do this?

@ITProTv 3 жыл бұрын

The Microsoft Remote Access is an app from the app store. I used it because I wasn't physically located in where the server running that VM was running. After setting up file sharing on the Mac, you should be able to go to the Windows desktop and use your standard UNC path \\IP_Address_of_Mac\testshare to connect, you will have to authenticate to get access to the mac file share. I would verify that I can ping the Mac by pinging the IP address of the Mac, so that you have connectivity to that machine. If you have connectivity, then verify you used the UNC path format.
