How to transfer videos from Android to Mac

So far, it seems that iPhone is the best phone for its luxurious design and high quality. However, it is a fact that Android is still the most popular phone as it’s more open and economical in price. Especially when Samsung unveiled its distinctive handset – Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, an increasing number of people prefer to purchase the Android phone rather than an iOS device. But there is a problem with Android, that is, you’re not able to transfer files from Android to Mac using USB directly. For instance, if you want to copy Android videos to Mac with USB, you have to install a third-party tool on Mac. Now, here are easy ways to transfer Android videos to Mac which don’t need USB cables.

Three ways on how to transfer videos from Android to Mac

1. AirMore – free and wireless transfer tool
2. Email – an easy but slow way
3. Bluetooth – a default transfer tool
