Use FrameCast Files in Finder on your Mac Turn on a drive and it appears as a FrameCast folder in Finder's sidebar. Anything you add or edit there syncs, and files download when you open them.
Where to find it Studio → Files → FrameCast folder in Finder → In Finder
How to do it 1 Open the studio and go to Files . Switch to the account whose drive you want first.
2 Under FrameCast folder in Finder , turn on the In Finder switch.
3 Press Show in Finder . The folder sits in Finder's sidebar next to iCloud Drive.
4 Control-click a folder there and choose Keep Downloaded to keep it on this Mac.
Good to know If macOS has FrameCast turned off, press Turn On in System Settings… , or click Enable at the top of the folder in Finder. If someone else saved a file first, your version is kept beside it as a conflicted copy. Each account's drive has its own folder. On iPhone, every drive is in the Files app under Locations while you're signed in.
