MacDroid is a professional Android file transfer app designed for Mac users who own an Android device, rather than an iPhone. It’s often difficult for Mac users to transfer data between Android and macOS, as the two are not designed to work together, which is where MacDroid can help.

From here you can quickly and easily transfer photos, music, videos, and other files - including entire folders - between your Mac and Android device, and vice versa. All you need is a USB cable to connect Android to Mac and MacDroid will take care of everything else.
