Universal Clipboard hack for older Macs?
Hello. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to enable the Universal Clipboard on older, unsupported Macs. I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) 4,1 running Sierra. I know there are third party apps that accomplish this, but they're a bit cumbersome. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.- paulcristo
