Android File Transfer For Mac

It is normally not possible to transfer content between an Android device and your Mac, as the former is not displayed as a volume when connecting it via USB.

However, you can take advantage of Google’s Android File Transfer app, a straightforward tool that lets you browse your device’s storage and transfer files with simple drag and drop actions.

Android File Transfer is very easy to use, as you only need to connect your device via USB and launch the application. It then displays all the files and folders on your phone or tablet’s internal storage, while the contents of SD cards are listed in a separate tab.

If you want to transfer a file or folder on your Mac, you can just drag it from the window to your desktop, and the same operation can be used to copy new files onto the device. It is also possible to create new folders or delete items.

Browsing through your device’s contents using Android File Transfer is almost the same as using Finder, although you cannot preview files before copying them or search for specific items.

The app lists each file’s last modification date and size, and items can be sorted based on either of these parameters, as well as their names. Moreover, you can see how much free space is available and how many items are present in each directory.

Android File Transfer is quite a useful OS X utility that should provide you with everything you need to copy files to and from your Android-based mobile devices.

While being able to preview items or search for content would certainly have been helpful, the Android File Transfer app still manages to be quite to those who need a quick and easy method of transferring their files to their Android phone or tablet.
