MacBlackBook Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 How can I get my external hard drive that is connected via usb to one of my macbooks so that the other macbook can read and write to it. Both macbooks are set for file sharing and can see each other fine in the network. I can pass information freely between both. I have set the external drive to read and write. Help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57851-how-do-i-share-external-hard-drive-connected-to-macbook/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxsci(macuser) Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 if the drive has another port you can just plug it into the other macbook Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57851-how-do-i-share-external-hard-drive-connected-to-macbook/#findComment-413861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
