    Mac users that also use Android, how do you transfer files and such? No MPT on the Mac that I can tell and the app I've tried, OpenMTP, is an Elektron app that I don't feel like dealing with.

      @pixelate I'm no longer a mac user but I never found a reliable way to do this when I was. These days on Android to Linux I use PlainApp: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.ismartcoding.plain

      It should work exactly the same way for any OS. You transfer through browser and only need to be on the same WiFi. It's a brilliant piece of software.

          @pixelate I would just use Dropbox on both devices Then you're always good to go. Even with the iPhone I cannot recall the last time I physically sinked a file with either Mac or 'windows.

            @pixelate I recently became fan of LocalSend app, which is free, Open Source, cross-every-platform and super simple to use.
