You'd often need the aid of a transfer software to move everything from music to pictures. Yes, that includes movies, podcasts, contacts, and other media files.

With that in mind, we'll teach you a couple of easy and safe ways to transfer photos from Android to Mac with ease:

Connect Your Device via Android File Transfer

An alternative, wireless way to transfer files from Android to Mac is by using the AirDroid app. After you set it up, you can basically navigate on your phone, download any files, and even send/receive SMS from a web browser on your Mac. The best part is that you won't have to download any software on your desktop.

To enable AirDroid, you'll need to use a Wi-Fi network. To begin, install the app on your Android phone. You then go to AirDroid.com on your Mac, sign in on the website, and you'll then be given access to all the data on your phone. If you upgrade to a premium account, it gets even better: you can make phone calls directly from your Mac.

It's really simple to set up AirDroid app and begin retrieving photographs from your Android phone. Follow these steps:

  1. On your smartphone, install the AirDroid app.
  2. After the installation, go to your MacBook and visit AirDroid.com.
  3. Create an account on the website.
  4. To sign in, use your email and password or Facebook/Google/Twitter account.
  5. You're done!

You can now move files from your smartphone to your computer and vice versa after this initial setup.

Sync Photos from Android to Mac with Google Photos

It's fairly easy downloading pictures from your Android device to any computer (including your Mac) using Google Photos. If you wish to set it up so any photos you saved on the app will automatically be accessible on your Mac, do the following:

  1. Install Google Photos Uploader on your Mac.
  2. Install the Google Drive sync app. This app will sync Google Drive on your computer.
  3. Access Google Drive from a browser. Afterward, select the Google Photos option.
  4. Navigate to Google Photos' settings pane on Google Drive. Make sure that the ‘Create Google Photos folder' option is enabled.
  5. To start syncing, go to your Mac's Google Drive settings. From there, make sure the Google Photos folder in your Google Drive is selected.

It's important to remember, though, that this setup will count against your Google Drive storage. That's not a bad thing but it may be better to store your photos on Google Photos entirely (without syncing). This way, you can continue using the app's unlimited storage.
