    Hey all - I am setting up to buy a new Mac Mini with the M1. All of my work is on my MacPro with 3 internal drives. Will there be an issue connecting the Mini to the MacPro so that I can use the files on those drives? I'll probably need some type of switch or hub between the 2? Thanks for the help!

    Finder missing folder flippers - High Sierra

    Yeah, whatever they are called. In the finder, I can no longer flip the triangle to the left of the folder to see what is in the folder. Plus now the tabs are all open in the same window, not separate windows. Is that new to High Sierra? Thank you!
