I am successfully logging in to my Mac Studio (Ventura) from my iPad Pro (iPadOS 16.1.1), both on my local home network. I use an account with Administrator privileges. When I choose my own profile and the “Documents” folder, I only get the following message in Files on iPad:

As far as I can tell, all permissions are correctly set. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks!

Alt-text for image: Content Unavailable. The folder contents could not be displayed because of an unknown error. Try again.

So, this was one of these classic glitches. Fix was as follows:

  1. Turn off File Sharing on the Mac
  2. Reboot
  3. Turn on File sharing again

Works as exepected again, but stuff like this is infuriating :slight_smile:
