How transfer photos from android to iMac?

How do I send photos and documents from my android phone to iMac and the other way around.

I tried the Smart Switch for Mac app on the iMac, and Smart Switch for android app on my phone, but nothing worked. It just seems to transfer files from phone to another phone, or computer to another computer.

As I said bevor, all I want to do is transfer photos and documents from my Samsung phone to my iMac and the other way around. It used to be very simple not too long ago. Can somebody tell me what apps are needed today to do this?

There are so many listed on the Google Play Store. I believe you need a file transfer app on both your computer and phone. Could it actually be that no app is compatible with the Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71) software yet?

I've successfully used Android File Transfer off and on over the years.

Upload photos from Samsung Galaxy cellphone to iMac. I have trouble uploading photos from my Samsung Galaxy cellphone to my iMac. It has worked sometimes, but not most of the time. Most of the time, as now, the screen says, "No Android device found." It works when it wants to work. Turning computer and cellphone off and on, and changing cables and ports has not helped. Oh, might it be easier to do using Bluetooth?

Sadly that system does not currently exist at the ASC.
