I have a Motorola (Android) phone that I use primarily as an MP3 music player. On my old iMac, I could just connect with a USB-cable and transfer between my Motorola and iMac to transfer music; but when I bought a new iMac, the iMac would not recognize my Motorola. I downloaded the Android File Transfer app, but Apple won''t allow me to open and use the app because it wasn't downloaded from the Apple App Store. The only Android file transfer apps on the Apple App Store require $$$ (yearly subscription). Your tutorial on how to use an external drive to move files from an iMac to Android is the only "free" solution that worked for me. My Motorola didn't have the same appearance as your Android phone when transferring files so there was a "trial-and-error" learning curve to figure how to do the transfer. So far, so good! THANKS!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for that video! Android File Transfert is a nightmare since 2012. It’s like a middle finger made to mac users. Plus, your suggestions are all free and open source! I’m trying those solutions right away. Cross fingers something will work! 🤞❤️
I followed the recipe several times, without getting any further. When I restarted the mac, I was linked to the content on the mobile. Many thanks for the very informative video! 👍
Thank you for this video! I'm a longtime user of iPhone and all Apples products. Recently bought an Android phone. Filmed our whole Teneriffe vacation on it. But I want to edit in Final Cut pro. Did not want to use Google photo. So this was a nice help for me.
Bro I can't beleive this worked so easily thank you so much. First suggestion is completely legit. The walkthrough was perfect too. I'm computerly challenged and even for me it was a walk in the park. Nice one man thank you
Open MTP didn't work for me either, on my Samsung s23 with my M2 Mac (the same connection error than most people). But luckily, the external drive solution worked like a charm.

Yep, just found out, too. And of course the Android file transfer app is total utter garbage. So basically we have to use Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Wow, this does suck
Press on cancel then go to system settings -> privacy and security, you should see the message telling you why openmtp was blocked. You click here 'open anyway' then open the app again.
I was trying to figure out out to transfer files from macbbok pro to Samsung S24 and Vice Versa. Checked out your video. Great video and explanation. Thank you so much

I used the Snapdrop but for some reason I don't know where it downloaded it to? Is it defaulted to the "Downloads" folder? Because I don't see it. But when I do the reverse and send a file from my MAC to my Android, it works.
I have a NAS server (Qnap) connected to my Mac mini M1. It has a usb-A connection. When I connect my android phone to the NAS with a USB cable and put the phone in transfer mode I can use the finder on my mac as normal to transfer files both ways. Or just browse through files on the phone.
Thanks a lot! It all looks pretty good. But I can't find anything on my phone among the many folders. The folder names can't be read 🙈 Is there a list view? I'm looking for my voice memos. But the recorder folder is empty

Thank you so much for this information! It's super helpful! Just one question: (I'm using a cable and OpenMPT) I have a LONG string of photos to select on my android phone. It would take FOREVER to select them all individually. In OpenMPT, using shift + click doesn't work for selecting the second end of a group, like it does everywhere else. How can I easily select a large group of photos without having to select them individually? Thank you!
Finally a video with tools that actually work! Thank you SO much!!!
You're welcome!

Apple M3 max is not allowing the Open MTP to be installed as it is not verified !
Finder -> Applications -> Right click on Open MTP App and chose open
Yep, just found out, too. And of course the Android file transfer app is total utter garbage. So basically we have to use Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Wow, this does suck
Solution:
Go to "Applications" in Finder => Hold Command button and right click over the app icon => Click open
Right-click the application and select Open. A different prompt should appear, select the open option again.
Press on cancel then go to system settings -> privacy and security, you should see the message telling you why openmtp was blocked. You click here 'open anyway' then open the app again.
