MTP for Mac For Mac

NOTE: During the pre-sales period, you can reactivate the 10-day trial an unlimited number of times from the driver's prefpane (you will need to create an account on the developer's website).

macOS is not particularly Android-friendly, as it lacks adequate support for the MTP protocol used by these devices. That makes transferring content between your phone and Mac very difficult, as an Android device will not show up as a storage drive when connected to your Mac.

MTP for Mac is a kernel file system driver that was designed to offer a simple solution to this problem. Once installed, it will allow your connected Android device to be displayed as a disk, which can then be managed like any other location on your Mac. This makes it easy to transfer content or just browse the contents of your mobile device's storage.

MTP is significantly more convenient than Google's outdated Android File Transfer utility, and it offers a more seamless experience than various other applications that help you transfer content between macOS and Android. You don't need to launch an app when connecting your mobile; just install the driver and then manage your Android device like any other storage drive.

Once installed, you can manage the extension using the prefpane accessible via System Preferences. From here, you can disable the driver or uninstall it, as well as manage your activation details.
