Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything on the Windows or the Mac?
No. Both sides use a web browser. No app, no drivers, no account.
Do the Windows and the Mac need to be on the same network?
No. The transfer works across networks and countries; on the same network it is simply faster. Some office and mobile networks block direct connections; switching one side to another network usually helps.
