Comment on Intel's new Thunderbolt Share provides file and screen sharing without hurting network performance
atocci@kbin.social 1 month agoWhy doesn't this already work the way I would expect? You can plug your smartphone into your PC and access its entire filesystem, and they're basically both computers. Why can't this work the same way between PCs? Or why can't I access my PC's files from my phone?

Meh, but I’m too lazy to test this.
