TwoPort next to AirDrop and the other Android-to-Mac apps.
Already using something else? Here is what's different.
AirDrop sends one file. TwoPort opens every file on your phone.
Newer Pixel and Galaxy phones can now AirDrop to a Mac through Quick Share. That's great for one photo. For everything else, here's the difference.
| What you want to do | TwoPort | AirDrop / Quick Share | Cable-only file browsers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open the phone's photos and folders in a Mac window | Over Wi-Fi or cable | No, send only | With the cable in |
| Works with your phone | Any Android 8 or later | Recent Pixel, Galaxy and a few others | Most phones |
| Send without switching to "Everyone" first | Paired once, always ready | Everyone mode on both sides | Plug in each time |
| Copy on one, paste on the other | Text, photos, small files | No | No |
| Import the camera roll by month, with original dates | Only what's new each time | No | Copy by hand |
| Move big videos fast | Cable when plugged in, Wi-Fi when not | Wireless only | Cable only |
