“How do I transfer pictures and videos from my Android smartphone to my Mac computer?”
1. Download Android File Transfer. Install the program onto your Mac computer.
2. You’ll need to manually open the app for the first time. It should open automatically next time you plug in your Android phone.
3. Unlock your phone if you have a passcode/pattern. Now plug your phone into your Mac with a USB cable.
4. You might be asked to choose a USB connection from your phone, select ‘Media device (MTP)’.
5. Your phone’s directory of files should appear in the Android File Transfer program window. Browse for the desired files and drag them to the desktop. Your pictures and video files should be inside the folder ‘DCIM’ and then ‘Camera’.
6. Unplug your phone when you’re done transferring files from your Android phone to the Mac computer.
