Question - How do I set up my drop box so that a co-worker, living in a different city from me, can see it appear either in his desktop or Finder window in the "shared" sidebar? What do I need to do on both our computers to set it up for him?
I am reasonably savvy on file sharing ("intermediate" to "advanced intermediate"), but not an expert. I can get this to work if both iMacs are on the same network (physically in the same building), but not if one is at my house and one at his.
What is the missing link that I need to do to get the Macs set up so that he has access to my drop box? (I'd like to keep it simple as possible so that he just needs to drag and drop, rather than go through an elaborate FTP or other setup each time he needs to transfer files.)
Same thing for screen sharing. Obviously "Back to My Mac" is not an option, because I don't want to give him my user name or password.
thanks!!!
