Mac to Windows File Transfer

Same Wi‑Fi or different cities—generate a link on the Mac, open it on the Windows PC, and stream the files directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AirDrop work Mac to Windows?
AirDrop is Apple-ecosystem only. BoltShare works because both sides only need a browser.
Do I need the same Wi‑Fi network?
No. Local network can be faster, but internet transfers work as long as both peers can connect.
Are Mac resource forks or special attributes preserved?
BoltShare transfers file bytes as selected in the browser. For complex Mac-only packages, zip on the Mac first for the most predictable Windows result.
