Hi, I think you already got the solution. Nevertheless, I want to share some simple steps to establish a shared folder on Mac that can help other people who are searching for it.
If anyone wants to create a shared folder on their Mac and give others access to it, they need to turn on file sharing first. Here is how to turn on file sharing on Mac:
- In the Apple menu, click System Settings
- Then, in the left sidebar, click General
- Next, click Sharing
- Here, you can turn on File Sharing. Type in your password if prompted
- Then click the “i” icon next to the File Sharing toggle, and you’ll see that a folder named [your user name]’s Public Folder has been created. To share another folder, click the “+” below the folder window, browse to the folder, and click Add.
After enabling file sharing on their computer, they can allow other users to access files by creating a shared folder (see step 5 in the above section). They can also create and share a new folder by following these steps:
- Open Finder, right-click and select “New Folder” to create the folder. It’s generally recommended to avoid using spaces or punctuation symbols in the folder’s name to ensure compatibility with different operating systems and file transfer protocols
- Right-click on the folder and select “Get Info”
- Under General, check the Shared folder checkbox
- Next, click the “Sharing & Permissions” section
- Then, click the “+” icon and add the users you want to share the folder with, then set their access permissions
- Click the lock icon to make changes.
Remember that they can add or remove files from the shared folder at any time. This is the content source: https://setapp.com/how-to/create-shared-folder-on-mac where you get complete guidelines.
I hope this helps! Best wishes to all😍
