could you elaborate what you mean by that ?

android leverages MTP standards and in a lot of cases emulates USB media storage. On Windows, Linux and OSX - this has resulted in a drag and drop interface for Android.




Samsung devices don't have the proper drivers on Mac for transferring files with Finder. I'm stuck using the Android File Transfer or the Samsung proprietary app, both of which suck.


You can get Servers Ultimate and just set your phone up as an FTP server or some other file transfer server.

Droid NAS also works brilliantly on Android devices and Macs. On Macs they'll just show up on your local network as a network drive you can drag and drop files to in finder. You just need to have your phone on the same wifi as your computer.

Outside of that dropbox works fairly well, even if you have to pull the files down from the phone once they're in your dropbox.
