File access from android mobile/tablet in Mac

Hi @Robin bro, hope you’re doing great !
I need to access files from android tablet using Mac mini M1, but its not detecting in finder window while connecting…

Can you tell me how to enable it. If no other option, is there any alternative shortcut using an app ?

I am good bro. thank you. hoping you too. within android tablet, do you see any option to enable file transfer or USB mode to transfer files bro? is that enabled?

Yes bro I’ve enabled, but still not visible in finder

in Finder it wont show bro. unless the device uses USB Drive or Pen drive mode. else we have to use third party apps like Android File Transfer.

This website is not loading for me right now. Do you see the app download link in this page?

No bro. I saw android file transfer app in Mac appstore. After downloading I could see only free access for viewing only, moreover for reading also, all the files are not visible…

Have you tried this thing from your android mobile with Mac anytime ? If not can you please check with your friends and let me know…

you might have downloaded third party app bro. sometime ago tried with an android mobile. android file transfer was the app I have used and it worked at that time normally bro. wondering what has changed recently. Try these suggestions bro.

Its not working bro, even with USB debugging option turned on. but surprisingly, in my Xiaomi Pad 6 tablet, even after enabling ‘transfer media files’ option also, its switching to ‘charging’ mode automatically… Seems strange.

Can you check with your friends and let me know if there are any other options…

I suspect it could be mac restrictions in place that prevents it from connecting the tablet. go to system settings - privacy & security and scroll to the bottom and see if you are seeing any prompt about connecting the drive bro. sometime it may need additional permission to access our mac hard disk.

I will check with my friend today and get back to you on this too. meanwhile try above suggestion.

I don’t see any prompt while connecting the device in privacy setting bro…
Have you checked with your friends ?

my friends wife was using android tablet last year bro. they do transfer only wirelessly it seems. no wired transfer done so far they confirmed so they couldnt confirm whether its working or not. also recently they moved to iPad. so couldnt check again now.

none of the method suggested in above video worked in your case bro?

Oh ok. Yes bro, none of the methods are working for me.

Thats disappointing bro. temporarily use wireless method. I will share any info If I come across. Sadly no android device in my work place at present. also the android file transfer app is not downloading from official website. free app have to be found that is safe to download.

Ok sure bro.
