Connecting two Macs using Thunderbolt | Macworld
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/30
TL;DR: Connecting to Macs over Thunderbolt is easy and has transfer speeds way faster than other network connections.
Summary of steps from [WayBack] Connecting two Macs using Thunderbolt | Macworld
- Connect the Thunderbolt cable between two Macs
- In the Network Preferences find the self-assigned IP address on either side
- In that side, ensure you have File Sharing enabled
- On the other side, open a Finder, press Command-K, then the IP-address you noted and logon
- Transfer files
This also increases LAN sync speeds of DropBox, Google Drive and others.
Note the connection by default using SMB
