Tailscale is optional. Everything on your own computer works without it. The features marked Pro (other computers over Tailscale) are free for now.
What you need
- Fast Finder on each computer (a Mac, or a PC with the Windows beta).
- The Tailscale app on each computer, signed in to the same Tailscale account. Get it at https://tailscale.com/download.
Set up
- Click Tailscale in the sidebar, under Network. The Tailscale card opens.
- On each computer you want to open from elsewhere, turn on "Make this machine visible on Tailscale". This starts the Fast Finder agent at login. It needs no admin password.
- On the computer you sit at, turn on "Let this machine browse my other machines".
- Your other machines appear under Network. When Fast Finder finds a machine for the first time, it asks what to do: Add to sidebar, Not now, or Never.
If the card says Tailscale is not installed or not signed in, fix that, then press Refresh.
What you can do
- Open another machine's folders in any view, in a tab or in the second pane.
- Copy files between machines, in both directions.
- Search another machine.
A file you delete on another computer is deleted for good. It does not go to a Trash.
Security
When "visible" is on, devices on your Tailscale account can browse this machine's files. The Tailscale card says so. Details: https://fastfinder.dev/tailscale
