#File transfer handshaker no accessories apk

Download the APK file and install the client on your Android phone. The setup process is quite straightforward as well - install the free Handshaker app on your Mac. Just connect both the devices on the same network and off you go. This essentially means it can function without wirelessly over a WiFi network. Apart from letting you browse the internal as well as external storage, Handshaker comes with WiFi sharing too. Considering how quickly I was running out of options and the fact that my MacBook Pro was out of its return period, I tried Handshaker as well.įortunately, Handshaker was not a complete waste of time and is undoubtedly the most convenient way for sharing files between a Mac and Android phones. Later, I stumbled upon a comment on a forum which mentioned an app called “Handshaker”. Of course, coming from Windows’ hassle-free file manager, I was a bit too critical of their performance. I tried a few alternatives people had suggested, but nothing seems to click the way I wanted. Two hours of troubleshooting the Android File Transfer (that’s the name) app and scrolling through Reddit threads didn’t help either. Judging from the tone of that sentence, you have probably guessed this by now – it didn’t work. That would have been fine as well if it had just worked. Except, it was the most obsolete and disdained app by Google I’ve ever used. Okay, alright, living with an app by Google won’t be so terrible. Instead, you have to install a separate tool by Google for doing so. But to my surprise, Apple doesn’t allow browsing an Android phone’s storage directly. I fired up the browser to check if my Mac was suffering from any bug.

There were no pop-ups for what I’d like to do with it. Apple’s persnickety nature for interfaces began growing on me… until I connected my Android phone to it. Like everyone, I too was pleasantly surprised by the minimalistic and well thought out design of MacOS. A few months back, I switched to a Mac from Windows after twelve long years of allegiance.
