I was going to mention that.

I have 2 macs for work. One for my employer, and one sent by the company I am contracted to work for.

Contract-mac is hugely locked down, requires all traffic to go through the VPN, and only allows non-VPN connections to the VPN.

Work-mac is fairly ordinary, not locked down except for anti-virus.

To get Magnet and a couple of other Apple store apps on the contract-mac, I signed in to the Apple store. Immediately, copy and paste started working across both macs. I'm not sure of the mechanism by which the clipboard was being "shared", but it felt like I'd get chewed out by contract-mac's security folks if I continued using it.

It's convenient, for sure, but could very easily be against security policy in larger enterprises.

Presumably logging into your personal account would be what’s against their policy. They should have set up an account for that computer to use. It’s also surprising that they didn’t ship it to you in a usable state.
