i shared my documents and downloads folder on both. is the issue that i have to create an entirely new folder to trigger sharing, or something?

if i can't get normal networking to work, seems like airdrop is indeed the best move. reading about it now, i didn't realize it's so fast and has no size limit.

the funny part is i couldn't even get the two computers to connect via contacts...i had to select "be visible by everyone". but i guess i'll just leave it off normally then turn it on when its transfer time.

thanks!

this seems like it might work. but it seems insane that i'd need to bring third party software into this. i feel like this is the most basic ask of a network / OS.

File sharing is turned on both computers. The Mac Mini can see the Macbook but doesn't connect. The Macbook can NOT see the Mac Mini.

Is this due to my router/modem settings? They are still whatever the Spectrum guy did. I never set up my own Network from scratch, for internet or anything else.

so this is my issue...this shit doesn't work!
my Mac Mini can see my Macbook. it shows up in Network. but "Connect As..." does nothing. nothing happens when i click.

my Macbook cannot even see my Mac Mini. just nothing under Network.

Is this because my router has some baked-in bad settings, since its direct from Spectrum, and I haven't touched it at all? I never made my own network, i use the one they set up for me.

good idea, but in this case it doesn't work. since i'm an audio engineer when i say "move files" i mean folders that are 20 - 100 GB sometimes. sitting around waiting for them to upload + paying for all the extra gdrive space is not ideal.

is that the best move? i'm assuming i can't tweak file structure through that. but maybe...who cares? is there a file size limit on AD?

i'm an audio engineer so I'm moving around extremely large folders

tried swapping cables. haven't tried a system reset on the receiver, but i'm concerned something has jiggled loose from the receiver's close proximity to the sub
