Hi.

I have two Macs, one 16" M1 MBP and one M1 Mac mini. Both are networked via Ethernet.

While I remote into the mini from time to time, the MBP is my main machine.

Screen Sharing works most of the time, other times I just use RealVNC, even if on the same network.

Anyway, I just wanted to start a copying process on the mini (USB HDD to internal SSD), and while it has to index all the files to copy, there is a Finder like copy dialog appearing on my MBP.

While that dialog is there, remoting into the mini is not that easy, even though the copy is locally constrained, no ****ing network involved.

I remember that I have seen that dialog years ago and even searched for it and found something, but for the age of me, I cannot remember what it was or find proper search terms anymore. Anyone have any idea?
