How to Access your Samsung Phone on Mac

Accessing your phone device on a Mac computer is quite different from the regular windows PC.
This is because; there is no direct way for your device, even your Samsung phone, to communicate with a Mac.

Android devices will generally communicate better with a PC. But this doesn’t mean that it is impossible.

In this article we would cover ways in which you can access your Samsung phone on your Mac.

With the Use of Android File Transfer

Android file transfer is used to transfer files from an android to a Mac, so it is very useful when trying to access your files on the Mac. /convert-iso-to-dmg-ms-windows-free.html.

Follow these steps to get it done:

(a) Download Android File Transfer.

(b) Unlock your Android device.

(c) Connect your Android device to your Mac via USB. This will automatically launch Android File Transfer or you can launch it manually if it didn’t.

(d) Tap Allow on your Android device when prompted.

(e) The type of connection you are using may ask you to “Choose to transfer media files” or whatever variation of that phrase your Android device says.

(f) Open a Finder window on your Mac.

(g) Drag and drop files from Finder to Android File Transfer. Folders can be created in Android File Transfer that’ll show up on your device.

You can also make use of your external storage by choosing to drop files in the memory card right in Android File Transfer.

Transfer of files between your Android device and your Mac can be done the same way — just drag from Android File Transfer to a Finder window or your desktop.
