OpenMTP is an Open-Source Android File Transfer App for macOS

If you have used a Mac, you must be aware that transferring files between an Android smartphone and a macOS system using a USB cable through Google’s outdated Android File Transfer app has always been an inconvenient experience.

An app developer named Ganesh Rathinavel has come up with an alternative app named OpenMTP that gives you the plug and play experience that you’re used to with Windows PCs. While there areother third-party file transfer MTP apps, OpenMTP stands out – thanks to its visually pleasing user interface.

OpenMTP app lets youtransfer multiple files larger than 4GB. It clearly distinguishes between files stored in your phone’s internal memory and SD Card. You can even drag and drop your files.

You can choose between a grid view and a list view to view your files. What’s more, you even get keyboard shortcuts with the app. The entire list of keyboard shortcuts is given below.

OpenMTP is open-source and you can use the app for free. You may take a look at the app’s source codeherein case you’re interested. With all that said, it is worth noting that theapp is not compatible with Samsung phones for now. The developeracknowledgesthe issue and hopes to fix it in the next update.
