  • Mac Mini Server Question with MBA linked to it?
    Edovia's Screens https://edovia.com/en/ is a paid app, but it makes the Sharing stuff a little more accessible/easy to setup. I was using this to share between my Macs and my Windows PCs-just one click sharing. But...I can't get it to work with my Mac Mini for some reason, so I went back to Apple's solution.
