How to externally save brushes in CC 2020 when Preset Mgr. no longer supports brushes

I see that Preset Manager no longer supports brush presets. I have created custom brushes and need to save them for distribution and have searched high and low for an answer. I'm on a Mac, in case that makes a difference.

 

I have them in a folder. Adobe's site says to use "save brushes" in brush presets, but doesn't tell me where that is.

 

If I create tool presets from my brushes, how do I save a group of them for redistribution?

Thank you.

One of the major changes with brushes in photoshop since photoshop 2018 is that Brush presets also save the settings in the tool options bar which is what tool presets do. So it's no longer necessary to use Tool Presets for brushes.

To save brushes, you select all the brushes you want to save and then go to Export Selected Brushes.

If you just save the Folder the brushes are already in, photoshop puts that folder inside another folder.
