Why file sharing feels harder than it should on macOS
-
Cloud storage is convenient — but your files leave your control
-
NAS software is powerful — but usually means VMs, Linux, or extra boxes
-
External drives work — until you lose track of where things are
Mobilink is built for macOS users who want simplicity
No virtual machines
Your Mac becomes the storage node directly. No Linux, no Docker, no VM layer.
Local-first, private by design
Files stay on your own devices. No third-party cloud, no server-side storage.
Looks like a drive, feels native
Access and move files the same way you already do on macOS and Windows.
