Finder doesn’t see files on Android devices from MacBook Pro USB commections I have a Macbook Pro which I am trying to attach an Android device via USB (the Macbook recognizes my iPhone 6S just fine via USB).

The Android device is a Samsung Note 3, and I expected when I plugged it into the Mac it would show up in the Devices section of Finder.  It does not.

I tried a coworkers Android device, and the Mac was not able to see that either.

Both Android devices were getting power from the connection.  But I am not seeing them in Finder.  

How can I connect my Android so I can see it in Finder on my Mac?
You need an app for OS X/macOS to transfer files from an Android phone to your Mac.

Try Android File Transfer from Google.

Also, a suggestion from another forum is:


  Try disabling Settings -&gt; Applications -&gt; Development -&gt; USB
  debugging in conjunction with setting Settings -&gt; Applications -&gt;
  USB settings to Mass storage.
