This app does the job with ease, and the only real limit is a 4GB file size limitation for transfers, that is due to Androids file system which uses FAT32 for it’s storage portion. The app has full drag & drop support, so you can copy things from just about anywhere in the Finder, or even transfer them from apps that also support drag and drop.Īfter it has been used and setup once, subsequent connections between the Android to the Mac will cause the app to automatically launch, you can adjust that in the settings though if you would rather it not auto-launch. Renaming files is the same as native Mac OS X, just click into any file/folder and hover with the mouse cursor until it becomes changeable. This is what the AFT app looks like in Mac OS X when it has been connected to a device, as you can see there are a variety of folders accessible:Ĭreating new folders with AFT is just a matter of clicking the little folder icon with a plus on it, and you can use the arrow keys to move forward and backward. Once connected, you can browse around the Android device, drag and drop files to move or copy them, add folders, delete files, etc.
