Question How to transfer photos wirelessly from Android to Mac ?

[embErsssss]

Hello!

I’ve been using AirDrop to transfer photos from my Android to Mac, but it’s been freezing and not working well lately. Any good apps you guys recommend for transferring photos from Android to Mac?

Appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

One option is to upload taken pics to your Google Drive and then, use any device that uses internet connection (PC, Mac, tablet, another phone), to view and download said images.

My missus does this method for her pics on her android phone.
I'm ol'school, meaning that i'm using my charger cable to connect my android phone to the PC directly and then just copy/paste stuff over in file explorer.

I use an Android app called File Manager Plus which is listed in the Google Play apps section. You can set your phone into the FTP file server mode (the last item on its menu screen) and then access it from whatever browser or app that you want on your Mac.

You can try using MacDroid (https://www.macdroid.app/), which allows seamless file transfers over USB or Wi-Fi. It's reliable for transferring photos and other files.

Alternatively, you can use Google Drive or Dropbox to upload photos from your Android device and access them on your Mac.

I tried AirDrop before, but it kept crashing. MacDroid sounds like a good alternative. Thanks for the info!
