If you use a Mac almost exclusively, but you’re still an Android holdout, you can manage your device’s storage. To transfer your files you need a valid internet connection, an application and standard USB cable that came with your device.The transfer software will allow you to move everything from movies and music to pictures and podcasts between your two devices, along with other various media and slew of contact data. So, try not to let the social pressures get you down — Android and Apple can play nice together. Here’s how.
Using Android File Transfer isn’t likely to throw you off too much. You’ll be presented with a pretty typical file/folder view, which will be your device’s SD storage. Here you will be able to perform the usual file/folder operations like copy, move, and delete.
Note : If you try to delete something, it’s important to understand that it is permanent, meaning that it doesn’t first go to the Trash. Luckily a warning dialogue will appear before you can finish the operation.
You can also create new folders such as if you have a bunch of files that need their own special place. Use “Cmd + Shift + N” or click the new folder icon in the upper-right corner.
Android File Transfer is not only a good way to perform easy file and
folder operations, but you can also use it to quickly clean up your
phone. If you have tons of old photos clogging your storage, it is much
faster to clean them out using your Mac than to go through and tap them
all one by one.
