Galaxy S24 setup checklist

  1. Install SmoothDroid on macOS 12 Monterey or newer.
  2. Use a data-capable USB-C cable connected directly to the Mac when possible.
  3. Unlock the Galaxy S24 after plugging it in.
  4. Open the Android USB notification and choose File Transfer, MTP, or Android Auto.
  5. Use the two panes to copy files from Samsung to Mac or Mac to Samsung.

What you can move

Use SmoothDroid for camera videos, DCIM folders, screenshots, downloads, documents, music, APKs, and project folders. It supports file and folder transfers both ways, plus rename, delete, and folder creation from one window.

Why Samsung transfer fails on Mac

Samsung phones expose file storage through USB/MTP, but macOS does not mount MTP storage in Finder. Other apps can also claim the same USB interface first, including photo import tools, Samsung utilities, Android development tools, and older transfer apps.

Low-risk paid path

SmoothDroid is a signed and notarized direct-download Mac app. It costs €9 / $10 once, includes 1 year of updates, and has a 14-day refund window if it cannot connect after the setup checks.
