To send and receive files from iPhones/iPads/iPod Touches, File Transfer requires File Storage to be installed on your device. Allows you to quickly share files also between your Macs and PCs.Without iTunes and without USB cable.įile Transfer is the professional version of the free app File Storage Companion. Drag files and they are transferred to your device in seconds. No configuration required, no need to enter an address to connect. I suggest FileZilla, but if you don’t like that, you can use a FileZilla alternative as well.The easiest, fastest way to send and receive files from your Macs, PCs, iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. You will need an FTP client on your Mac for this. If that’s happening with you, or if you don’t want to use Snapdrop for any reason, you can use FTP to share files between Android and macOS. Sometimes, at least for me, Snapdrop refuses to work properly. Plus, it’s the closest thing to AirDrop I’ve seen so far. It works quite fast, it’s completely free, and you don’t need to install any apps on your devices. Personally, Snapdrop is my go-to choice for sharing files between Android devices and my Mac. You can click on your Android phone’s name on your Mac screen and choose the files you want to send to your phone. This also works the other way around, by the way.You can then select the files you want to transfer. On your smartphone, tap on the Mac’s screen-name shown in Snapdrop.

If you don’t see this, make sure both devices are connected to the same WiFi network and try to reload the website.

You should see your phone pop-up on your Mac’s screen, and your Mac on your Android phone’s screen.On your Android device and on your Mac, go to the Snapdrop website.
