Windows to Mac File Transfer
Sending from Windows to Mac is the reverse of the usual Apple-centric path: no AirDrop from PC, and network shares can be annoying to set up. BoltShare gives you Windows to Mac file transfer with a plain link.
Start on Edge or Chrome on Windows, open the link in Safari or Chrome on the Mac, and pull the files across encrypted peer channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Windows to Mac transfer free?
Yes. BoltShare does not charge based on file size for this workflow.
Will Windows paths or permissions break on Mac?
File contents transfer normally. Executable installers built only for Windows still will not run on macOS—that is an OS limitation, not a transfer bug.
Can I send from Windows to iPhone instead?
If the iPhone browser supports receiving the transfer, you can try a mobile link. For large files, a Mac with more storage is usually more reliable.
