Android file transfer app on mac not available anymore. How can I transfer files between Android and Mac?

I would not download anything from a THIRD PARTY AGGREGATOR site, this is a good way to install malware:

CNET

Software Informer

Softonic

MacUpdate

Mac.Informer

etc

aggregators they make their money by re-packaging and include PUP's (potentially unwanted programs)

HandShaker — I would not download from a third party

only if available via the Apple store or direct from the developer:

I have a Motorola/Android phone and have used Android File Transfer but sometimes though it disconnects.

Another way, which is simple but perhaps slower, is to use Bluetooth. Pair your phone with your Mac. Choose the file(s) you wish to transfer, select share, Bluetooth, your computer then off it goes.

I now use this more often than Android File Transfer.

It works on an IMac running Mojave to M1 Silicon running Sequoia

Try doing a search in the App Store for "Android file transfer".

Got a new Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S25) and need to transfer files between Android and Mac. When I go to the Google website, the Android file transfer app is no longer available for Mac.

Now, it asks me use the Quick Share app instead but it does not support mac:

Send and receive photos, documents and more between nearby Android devices and Windows PC.

Any good android file transfer alternative that works on apple silicon Mac?

Thanks
