Howard Oakley notes the deprecation of the Apple Filing Protocol<\/a>, which used to be the foundation of peer-to-peer file sharing on the Mac. (These days most Macs share files using the SMB protocol.) The end of AFP has some serious ramifications for some older Apple hardware:<\/p>\n

\n

\n In case you missed it, Apple has just announced that a \u201cfuture version of macOS\u201d will no longer support AFP, Apple Filing Protocol. This is included in the Enterprise release notes<\/a> for macOS 15.5 Sequoia\u2026.<\/p>\n

Greatest problems come with Apple\u2019s old Time Capsules, most of which are still used with AFP, as they can only support SMB version 1, not versions 2 or 3. If you\u2019re still using a Time Capsule, or an old NAS that doesn\u2019t support SMB version 3, then access to your network storage may well still be reliant on AFP.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oakley\u2019s recommendation is also mine: If you\u2019re using a Time Capsule or another old NAS that doesn\u2019t use SMB 3, it\u2019s finally time to say goodbye. If you recently put in a new drive, move it to a new NAS. And buy a new wi-fi access point. So it goes.<\/p>\n
