Importing photos from an Android device to a Mac

Picture
If you have an Android phone and a Mac, you will need an App if you want to transfer those photos to your Mac. (Note. If you use Google Photos, you can download your photos from there as another option. We'll just cover transferring using the app in this article.)

Here are the details of the app and the steps involved in transferring photos from your Android device to your Mac.
  • On the Mac, install the Android File Transfer app from the Mac App Store (click on link to download and install)
  • Connect your Android device to your computer using the USB cable – Android File Transfer app will open automatically on the Mac 
  • You will need to Allow access to Phone data on the phone
  • (I found at this point I got an error and Android File Transfer app closed – so I had to go to Launchpad and re-open it)
  • In the Android File Transfer app, go to DCIM > Camera​
Picture
  • Choose the photos and videos that you want to move and drag from the Android File Transfer app to the applicable location in Finder (or just to your desktop)
  • Alternatively, drag the folder/photos from Android File Transfer app to over the top of the Photos app in the Mac Dock - this will trigger the Import process of the Photos app, and allow you to quickly get the Android photos into the Photos app on the Mac.
