Android File Transfer will automatically detect the connection and show a window where you can transfer files back and forth, create or delete folders, and perform other file management tasks. You also don't need to worry about installing any drivers since you're using a Mac. The only requirement is your Mac must be running at least macOS 10.7 or higher.

 

OpenMTP is very similar to Android File Transfer but is a lot more powerful. It has a better interface, with split windows enabling you to see both your Mac and phone's contents at the same time, making it easier to drag files from one place to the other. Compared to Android File Transfer, it's simpler to transfer files from Android to Mac and vice versa using OpenMTP.

 

Copying is fast, you can move files over 4GB in one go, see hidden files on both devices if you want to, and there are keyboard shortcuts for expert users. Setup is easy, but do make sure you follow the instructions when you get started. Best of all, it's free and open-source.

 

If you're looking for a more professional Android-to-Mac file transfer tool, you should try Commander One. Commander One comes with a sophisticated dashboard where you can perform a variety of actions, such as quickly copying large chunks of files, setting up an FTP server, instantly switching disks, searching files with regular expressions (RegEx), and more. The app has a tabbed interface, letting you juggle multiple storage drives with ease.

 

Plus, Commander One offers a wide selection of keyboard shortcuts you can customize per your preferences. This app, however, is not free. You need to upgrade to the Pro version to use it with Android, and you can try it free for 15 days to decide if it's worth the cost to you.
