Mobile manufacturer ecosystems are becoming more and more complex and comprehensive. The best example is Apple, which maintains an incredible symbiosis between computers, tablets and mobile phones. This is something that we have also seen from Samsung, which even allows you to view the mobile screen on a PC or Samsung Galaxy Tab. And this ecosystem is more viable in Europe, where Apple’s market share is not so large.
Nevertheless, Not all Android users use Windows on their computer and not all Mac users use iPhone.. This causes the ecosystem to break down and makes certain tasks difficult. One of the simplest is to share files between devices.
For users using Windows and Android, QuickShare is the most optimal option since Samsung opened it to any brand using the Microsoft operating system. The problem is when you have an Android phone and you use a Mac like a computer. In this case, you can also use QuickShare through a third-party app, but it doesn’t work as well as the official Windows app.
This application is called Local delivery and is available on multiple platforms, including Android and MacOS. It’s a free app and open source. Installation is very simple because they are integrated into the stores of both devices and, once opened, you just have to make sure that both devices are on the same WiFi network.
To send a file from your mobile phone to your Mac, you just have to enter the Android application, click on the button To send from the bottom and select a file in the upper area. We can also navigate only between photos and videos to make it more comfortable. Once selected, you return to the shipping screen and Click on the Mac we have on the same network.
When you click on This Mac (all devices have fun fruit names to identify them) the computer will ask to confirm receiptso that no one can send us anything without our consent. By accepting, the download will start automatically and Once finished, simply click on the word Done to open the file. Or if we prefer, we can click on the path that appears at the top of the local sending window to open the folder that contains all the received files. By default, this is the MacOS download folder.
