What others say

Wanted to link my Samsung Galaxy to my MacBook to transfer files. Heard a lot about a native app for Samsung devices, however, found it difficult to use. Accidentally came across MacDroid - I’ve connected it via USB, and everything worked! A convenient application that instantly opened access to all files. A great alternative to Smart Switch for Mac owners.

Emily Heler 4.8

Needed to connect a Samsung tablet to a MacBook to transfer videos and photos. Via the cloud - takes a long time; via Bluetooth - very slow. MacDroid solved the problem - I downloaded the app, followed the Wi-Fi connection instructions, and saw the files in Finder. The interface is simple, everything is clear.

Patrick Baker 5.0

Previously, I always struggled with transferring files between an Android smartphone and a Mac. With MacDroid, I discovered a way to pair Android phone to Mac via Wi-Fi or with cable. It works great even with large files, the transfer is stable.

Grace Righeti 4.9

Couldn't access Samsung S24 Ultra from MacBook Pro. macOS simply didn't see the phone. Tried MacDroid — and it was a lifesaver! A real must-have app for Mac and Android users.
