I have a couple of external HD's on my Mac Pro, that I use to store videos and things. I'd like to be able to connect it to my rMB to copy some things to it, but not sure how. Is there a solution for USB-C to Thunderbolt? These drives only have a thunderbolt port, no USB.

Thanks

Yeah. Looks like Im going to just have to get a USB 3.0 enclosure ($12 on amazon) and swap the drive into there. Not ideal, but no big deal as I won't need to do it often.

I could but copying via cable will be a whole lot faster. But I'll try sharing first I suppose and see how fast that is. Thanks.
