    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!!!

    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.

    this drives me crazy! for the 3rd day I am trying to switch from iphone to Samsung Galaxy.
    Built in "Smart" Switch tool freezes on 99% and "1 minute left" - for hours! Tried everything: turning off encryption, password, not touching phones. 3 times - same.
    Exporting Contacts - no photos and errors in data.
    Move icloud contacts or calendars in any other way - no sorry.
    Even file transfers between Samsung and MacBook - give error, can't even connect.
    I'm frustrated... ((((
    Please help
    Could it be built in McAffee protection (wouldn't it notify)?
    Bitwarden accessibility control over the phone?
    Like, how did you figure out that screen recording was interfering? What sense does it make?
