Do you remember those days, when we used to connect and transfer files to our Samsung devices via USB using Samsung Kies? But sadly, it supported devices running Android 4.2 or lower. When it comes to transferring data between your Mac and your Android device, it’s a lot of hassle because of the whole alliance of macOS with iPhones. There are only a handful of options available out there for connecting Android devices to macOS and, not even one of them is the one-stop solution for all your worries. One such app is the Android file transfer, the app is Freely available, Lightweight, easy to use, and all that good stuff but it is far from perfect like you need to manually transfer data with a maximum file size of up to 4GB with no complete backup option.
If you are using a Samsung device, you might be using Samsung Smart Switch to transfer files and, you know it has a limited set of features plus it can not perform a selective transfer of data. So if you are out there looking for a perfect one-stop solution for Connecting Android devices to Mac or doing a file transfer on Samsung devices, Dr.Fone is the app for you.
Dr.Fone is an all-in-one phone manager, loaded with a tonne of features. It lets your transfer data from Android to Mac or Windows and vice versa with exceptionally fast transfer speeds and a great UI and unlike other file transfer and phone manager apps, it is fairly easy to use with support for more than 6000+ Android devices. We say its a phone manager and not a file transfer app because it has lots of other features that a file transfer app would not give you. Dr.Fone has this toolkit which lets you remove phone lock, repair system files, recover lost data from all scenarios, and more. When it comes to recovering data, Dr.Fone can recover lost data which not only includes files, photos, and videos but it can also retrieve contacts, messages, call logs, and more. It is the 1st Android data recovery software in the world.
It is one of the best phone managers out there with a tonne of features and no limitations. Here’s everything that makes Dr.Fone better than every other File transfer app in the market:
- Seamless Transfer Experience: You can transfer files, photos, videos, etc. to your Android from mac. Dr.Fone even works with Samsung devices, so you don’t need to worry about file transfer between Samsung to mac.

- Backup your Device: While other apps just let you transfer files between your device and your Mac/PC, Dr.Fone takes it to the next level and even allows you to take a complete backup of your phone using which you can restore your phone anytime.
