Installing the official Android File Transfer app on your Mac computer allows you to connect your Android device and transfer files between devices. By connecting your Android to your Mac device, you can view files stored on Android in exactly the same way as you do with files and folders on a Mac. You can also transfer music files from iTunes library to Android.
