Connect Mac computers on the same network
Connect Mac to Mac for File Sharing
Be aware this sharing is done over the same Network. In most instances this means both computers have to be connected to the same Router. Either wirelessly or hard wired.
On the computer you wish to Share…
Finder > System Preferences > Sharing
Add only the folders you wish to share! Or to share the whole computer remove ALL the shared folders.
Make a note of YOUR IP Address provided. (highlighted below)
Now go to another mac computer on the same network
In the Finder press ⌘K for “Connect to Server”
Enter the IP address you noted above. It should look something like this “smb://192.168.3.5”
Press “Connect”
Enter YOUR “Username” and “Password” of the computer you are connecting to
Press “Connect”
SUCCESS! You are now connected to your shared computer
TOP TIP!
Create an alias of the connected drive to sit on your desktop. Double clicking this alias will open your other Mac automatically.
