Remote Disc

MacOS High Sierra

Finder Preferences > Sidebar

Turn on "CDs, DVDs and iPods"


"Remote Disc" appears in my sidebar. I click on it and a window appears. I tried to drag a file into the window and a popup indicates as shown below but there is no "Authenticate" button.


What is this disc and what is going on?
