yep in that case you can use Android file transfer .. this will allow you to connect through USB and you can easily exchange files b/w your S4 to mac..


Also try to download Droid NAS from App store link is : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codesector.droidnas and you can use that without USB but for that you need to connect your phone and mac into same wifi n/w..


The procedure for using Droid NAS for mac follows


OS X Mavericks workaround:

Press Cmd+K in Finder and enter IP address AND share:

smb://IP_ADDRESS:Port/Share

for example:

smb://192.168.1.2:7777/SD Card


Cheers !!!

I am not using anything other than iPhones and iPads and Macs and PC's.

My remark was just a cautionary statement.

As far as I remember from some threads, some file-explorers read the android phones (connected with USB) just as a disk (maybe even Finder does that?), so that you do not need any special app to connect that Samsung phone.

Have fun,

Lex
