We Transfer App For Mac
For now WeTransfer does not meet my needs. Because I belong to several forums and when i upload a file & post the ' download url ' at the forum the members of the forum may download if they so wish. As best as i understand this ' WeTransfer ' is essentially a person to person file transfer.
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch do not have centralised file systems. Instead, each app has its own folder called sandbox. An app's sandbox is not shared with other apps, and is not accessible from a computer.
However, some iOS apps let you access their sandbox's Documents folder. These are referred to as File Sharing enabled apps. Simply put, these apps let you browse, upload and download files in their Documents folder.
iTunes provides a limited and simplistic interface to add, copy, or delete files from file sharing enabled apps.
iMazing provides a much more full featured way of interacting with file sharing enabled apps, via USB or Wi-Fi. It greatly expands on what is possible with iTunes:
- Browse and transfer folder hierarchy
- Preview files
- Rename files and folders
- Display items in multiple view types (list, icons, columns)
- Sort files by name, date, size, or kind
- List all ongoing transfer operations
All file sharing enabled apps are not created equal. What app is right for you will greatly depend on the type of document you want to use it with. In this guide, we'll use FileApp, our free file manager and document reader, but the instructions below apply to any file sharing enabled apps such as VLC or Kindle.
Have a look at the Going Further section at the end of this article for a list of our favorite compatible apps.
Who is this guide for?
Anyone who wants to easily and quickly copy files back and forth between their Mac or PC computer to their iPhone, iPad or iPod without iTunes.
Before you begin
Download and install iMazing on your Mac or PC computer
Instructions
To transfer files from a Mac or PC computer to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
- Launch iMazing and connect your device.
- In the left sidebar, select Apps.To see your most recent data, you may need to refresh your view.
- In iMazing's main window, select your application and navigate to its Documents folder.
- In the bottom toolbar, click one of the action buttons of your choice:
- Copy to Mac/PC – transfer files to your Mac or PC computer.
- Copy to Device – transfer files to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
- Delete – delete files from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

💡Tips:
- You can drag and drop files and folders from the Documents folder to your computer, and vice versa.
- To quickly access your favorite apps, add them as a shortcut
Backup Folder
If you've backed up your device, you'll notice that you have a Backup folder in addition to the app's Documents folder.
In this folder you can browse backed up app files from the backup folder, even if the app is not sharing enabled. This is a great way to access data that is usually hidden, and find out precisely which files are included in your backups.
What to keep in mind
Not all apps support file sharing; it's up to the app's developer to enable file sharing.
You can filter out apps which are not compatible with file sharing: click Options in the bottom toolbar, and select Only show sharing enabled apps.
You can also check whether or not an app is file sharing enabled by looking at the icon of its Documents folder.
The Kindle iOS app, enables file sharing: it's Documents folder is accessible.
The Spotify iOS app, does not have file sharing enabled: its Documents folder is not accessible.
If your device is running iOS 8.2 or below, the sandbox of all applications is fully accessible. To protect user privacy, Apple disabled this in iOS 8.3.

How to access your iPhone App's data and files.
1. Android File Transfer from Google
Android File Transfer app from Google is a tiny utility designed to transfer files from Android to Mac by connecting the two devices together via USB. This app will be enough for those who just need to transfer several files between Mac and Android without compressing them (if we talk about transferring pictures via Google Photos) or emailing files to yourself.
This app can be used only on Mac OS X 10.7 and upwards.
How to use Android File Transfer Mac?
- Download the Android File Transfer from Google onto your Mac from this link.
- Open the Apple disk image (.dmg) and drag the Android File Transfer app to the Applications section.
- Switch on and unlock your Android phone.
- Connect your Android phone to the Mac device using a USB cable.
- The Android File Transfer should open automatically once you plug your phone to Mac. If it doesn’t, click it and open.
- Browse the files and folders on your Android phone and select the files you wish to transfer to Mac device.
- Choose from the various options available and manage your files between both Android and Mac devices.
This is what your Android screen should reflect when you connect your phone to Mac:
The files and folders from both devices will be organized in a logical manner – alphabetical or date-wise. The only exception to this rule is for photos taken on the phone itself. These photos are usually subject to the de facto DCIM structure. If this is the case, search for the folder named “Camera”, and you’ll find the relevant files there. This is how your screen will look like if your files are in the DCIM arrangement:
Screenshots saved on the phone can be found in the folder titled “Pictures” and in the sub-folder titled “Screenshots.”
This Android File Transfer for macOS app allows you to drag and drop files from this window to the desktop and vice versa. You also have the freedom to create, edit, and manage files and folders in the app.
Our verdict: The Android File Transfer from Google does exactly what it promises – allows users to easily transfer files from Android devices to Mac devices. The biggest advantage of the app is that it’s completely free to use. But the disadvantage is that it’s a slightly unstable app (given that it hasn’t been updated in a while).
