Trust your Mac for secure sharing

When a Mac shares over HTTPS, each phone or tablet trusts it once. After that, secure shares and Swarm open without certificate warnings.

Use Safari for the profile. Other browsers save it to Files; if that happens, open it from the Files app and it goes to Settings the same way.

  1. 1On the Mac, open Serving Files → Manage → “Set up a new phone, tablet, or Mac” and scan the QR code.
  2. 2In Safari, check the code matches the Mac, tap Get Profile, then Allow.
  3. 3Open Settings, tap Profile Downloaded near the top, then Install.
  4. 4Go to General → About → Certificate Trust Settings and switch the Mac’s certificate on.
  5. 5Back in Safari, tap Test Secure Connection. Green means you’re done.

The Mac shows the QR code and the same steps, so you can set a device up without leaving the app.
An iPad joins from Safari and collects a 57 MB file in 54 checksum-verified parts.

Mac + iPad · Swarm

Send one big file to many devices

Swarm splits a file into verified parts. Every browser that joins downloads parts and passes them on, so a room full of devices finishes sooner without all of them pulling from one Mac.

  1. 1Queue the file, open Queue & Go, and press Swarm. Click Distribute next to the file.
  2. 2Press Copy Client Link and share it, or have people scan the Quick Share code.
  3. 3On each device, open the link and sign in with the share’s login.
  4. 4Parts fill in as they arrive. When the bar turns green, tap Save.

A calibration run working through packet sizes and runner counts, then saving the results.

Mac · Settings

Calibrate transfers for your hardware

Calibration benchmarks your storage and each protocol, then saves the packet size and runner count that work best. New transfers use those settings automatically.

  1. 1Open Settings (the gear) and choose Calibration….
  2. 2Press Run Calibration. It tries several packet sizes and runner counts and compares them with a standard Finder-style copy.
  3. 3When it finishes, the best result for each protocol is saved. Re-run it after changing drives or networks.
