What you get

Move your files between Mac and Android without uploading them to the cloud.

You can move files in either direction between your Mac and Android phone or tablet, with both devices’ folders visible side by side. Drag files across or use copy and paste, check transfer progress, and stop a transfer when needed. You can also browse Android folders, inspect files, and delete items you no longer want.

Your files travel only between the devices you connect, rather than through a developer-operated server. You don’t need an account, and you won’t encounter advertising, analytics, or tracking in the app.

For your first connection, you’ll need a USB data cable and must enable Android Developer options and USB debugging. To transfer wirelessly, enable Wireless debugging and keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi network, then pair by QR code or enter an IP address and port. You get built-in connection and troubleshooting guidance if setup needs attention.

  • Move files both ways

    You can copy files from Android to your Mac or send Mac files to your phone or tablet.

  • Keep transfers local

    Your files stay between your connected devices, without a cloud upload or developer-operated relay server.

  • Clean up Android folders

    You can browse your Android folders from your Mac, inspect files, and delete unwanted items.

  • Know where transfers stand

    You can follow transfer progress and stop an active transfer when you need to.

Best for

  • You regularly move files between a Mac and an Android device.
  • You want local transfers without an account or cloud upload.
  • You want to browse and clean up Android folders from your Mac.

Skip it if

You don’t need this if you never move files between Mac and Android or aren’t willing to enable Android debugging.
