Who this is for
You are a good fit if Android File Transfer, OpenMTP, Image Capture, cloud sync, or a wireless workaround is not doing the job, and you specifically want a local USB transfer tool on macOS.
First-user licenses are limited and meant for people who can send a short compatibility report after testing.
What I need back
- Your Mac model, chip type if known, and macOS version.
- Your Android phone brand, model, and Android version.
- Whether browsing, Android to Mac download, Mac to Android upload, folder transfer, rename, delete, and folder creation work.
- Any connection issue, USB cable detail, or app conflict that SmoothDroid reports.
Known requirements
- macOS 12 Monterey or newer, on Apple silicon or Intel.
- An Android device that exposes File Transfer, MTP, or Android Auto over USB.
- A data-capable USB cable, not a charge-only cable.
- The phone unlocked while connecting, with File Transfer/MTP selected from the Android USB notification.
Devices I want to confirm
Samsung Galaxy
Especially recent S, Z, A, and Ultra models.
Google Pixel
Pixel 6 or newer, including Pro and Fold models.
OnePlus, Nothing, Motorola
Useful for checking non-Samsung/non-Pixel MTP behavior.
Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo, Fairphone
Less common Mac workflows are especially useful.
