Share Files between InterConneX & Mac via ChronoAgent
There are two methods to share files between a Mac and InterConneX. You can use ChronoAgent or you can use ChronoSync.
The ChronoAgent method allows you to create an InterConneX sharespace to access files on a Mac. The files remain on the Mac and any file changes will occur directly to the files on the Mac. Use this method if do not want to store files directly on your iPhone or iPad and have a connection to your Mac to access the files.
The ChronoSync method syncs the files from the Mac to an InterConneX sharespace. The files are copied directly to the InterConneX sharespace on the iPad or iPhone. Any file changes can be synched back to the Mac. Use this method if you want to store the files on an iPhone or iPad so they are accessible at all times.
This guide explains how to connect to a Mac using the ChronoAgent method. Click here to view the Connecting to a Mac via ChronoSync guide.
CONNECTING TO A MAC VIA CHRONOAGENT
Install ChronoAgent on your Mac
Install and configure ChronoAgent on any Macs you want to access. View the Configuring ChronoAgent guide to set up ChronoAgent.
Create a ChronoAgent Sharespace
Creating a ChronoAgent connected sharespace begins like any other sharespace creation would except you choose to connect to a remote ChronoAgent computer instead of an InterConneX sharespace.
Choose what ChronoAgent you would like to connect to. All available ChronoAgents on your local network automatically appear by name. You can also specify an internet address if you are accessing your ChronoAgent over the internet.
Supply your ChronoAgent access credentials and test your settings.
Give your sharespace a meaningful name.
You can specify a “Target folder” so that when you select the sharespace it will open to the specified folder.
Not only is the Main drive of the Mac available but also any attached drives are available too. Choose the drive and then the folder you want to Target. Save your settings and you’re done!
Access Complete
Accessing the files on your Mac from InterConneX is now as easy as selecting the ChronoAgent sharespace from your sharespace list! Now you can access and control files on your Mac directly from your iPhone or iPad.
