FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
DroidMac is a free Android file transfer app for Mac. It lets you transfer files between your Android phone and Mac using USB (MTP) or Wi-Fi. Simply connect your Android device, browse its file system, and drag & drop files — just like working with any folder on your Mac.
Yes. Google's Android File Transfer app for Mac has been discontinued and no longer works reliably on modern macOS. DroidMac is a modern, actively maintained alternative that supports both USB (MTP) and Wi-Fi transfers, with drag & drop, real-time progress tracking, and full file management.
Install DroidMac on your Mac and the DroidMac Companion app on your Android phone. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Open both apps and they will discover each other automatically via Bonjour. You can then send files from your phone to Mac or from Mac to your phone wirelessly.
Ensure you are using a USB cable that supports data transfer (not charge-only). On your Android device, pull down the notification shade and tap the USB notification, then select File Transfer (MTP). Try a different USB port on your Mac. If the device still isn’t detected, try unlocking your phone and accepting any trust prompt.
DroidMac works with all Android phones and tablets that support MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), including Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola, and more. Any Android device running Android 9.0 or later is compatible.
Make sure both your Mac and Android device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. On your Mac, allow DroidMac to access your Local Network when prompted in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network. Ensure the companion app is running and advertising on your Android device.
