So you can transfer as many files as you want from your Android to Mac OS X. You can also drag the files from the computer to your Android folder to pass the files from the Mac to your Android.

Alternative method: use cloud storage services

The problem with the previous method is that it does not always work as well as expected. Sometimes the computer doesn’t even recognize your Android device, so you should know that you can also use cloud storage services (Google Drive, Dropbox, Mega, etc.) to send files from Android to Mac OS X, and vice versa.

All you have to do is upload the file you want to transfer to your account of the cloud storage service you prefer. Then, open that same account on your computer and download the uploaded file. That way, you will have transferred the file. Of course, for this, you need a fast and stable Internet connection.
