Steam - can I copy game files from one Mac to another?


steam allows games installed on multiple computers long they're not both played @ same time. i'd steam games installed on laptop , on desktop (both macs.) have slow internet connection , i'd avoid downloading of games twice if possible.

there way can download mac versions onto desktop, copy game files desktop laptop , make steam on laptop recognize i'm entitled play them?

if so, how?
 

because of way steam validates games may have re download titles on each computer.

reasonably speaking copying ~/documents/steam content folder should work , worth shot have download games again.

no worries though steam not charge ever.
