MacDroid would definitely be my recommendation. Although, it's not free and cost 20 bucks annually, it's worth it for me since I do quite a lot of content transfers between my Samsung Fold 4 and MacBook Pro. I really like how MacDroid is integrated into Finder app when the Samsung Fold 4 is plugged into the MacBook.

Recently got a new S21 FE, synced with my old device and somehow it turned out that more than a half of the storage is already taken, so transferred files to Mac using MacDroid. Cool app, I was eventually satisfied.

This application worked exactly the way it needed to absolutely for free. It had a paid program for more advanced features, but I found it to be exactly what I was looking for to connect Android to Mac wirelessly. Macintosh should take note: compatibility between Mac and its competitors is more important now than ever.

Tried many apps before, but none offer the reliability and speed of MacDroid. A game changer for Android-Mac users.

MacDroid is an excellent file transfer software that makes Mac to Android and Android to mac data transferring a breeze! With the free version, you can only transfer files from Android to Mac; however, with the pro version, you can transfer files between Android and Mac in both directions.

The best thing about MacDroid is sharing my photos with my family through my Mac’s Photo app. Before I had the software it was difficult to get pictures to the group of people I wanted to see them. Now it’s a breeze!
