Title: New Way to Share Content
Post by: Xairbusdriver on February 02, 2021, 10:09:52 AM

While I try to become aware of anything new in any System Pref, I completely missed the added "Content Caching" option in the Sharing pref. It appears to have been added back in macOS 10.13 High Sierra. It looks useful for folks with multiple Macs, especially for those with slow Internet access.

It may work without a Mac that's on 24/7, but the concept relies on a local network. More info at:
