Windows is not as restrictive as MacIf that's the case why does the iPhone work the same way on Windows?

Hey,
thanks for your precious comments. I am looking to be able to see for exemple my pictures on my MAC so that I can do come "order" and put them in folders etc.
Is there a way to be able to see the S6 as an external usb for exemple ?
When I plug in my S6 in my MAC it doesn't show nowhere ...
thanks for your help
Best
Not really. I'm hard-core Mac and I've had 0 issues ever with an Android phone. If anything I'd even say its easier than dealing with Windows. There's no drivers, etc. ADB and Fastboot are easy to set up. Everything is plug and play. Hell, you can build Android natively on a Mac.Its Apple's fault I think. They make their computers much easier to use with iPhones than with other products that are not Apple so they can force users to be on the same ecosystem. They do this with a lot of their products, pretty stupid imo.
I have 3 alternatives for you:
(1) You could transfer the photos with bluetooth, which is what I do with my Mac. Just turn on bluetooth on both devices, select the photos you want to send, and select the Mac. The photos should transfer to the "Downloads" folder on the Mac.
(2) Download this app could AirDroid, which is an AMAZING app for this. What you do is install it on your phone, then go airdroid.com, and it will connect with your phone, and show you all your pics, and you can easily just download them to your computer
(3) Alternatively, you could just email them to yourself and download them on your Mac. the bluetooth method is much faster though
Yes, you can use a USB to transfer photos. Plug in to your computer using your USB
Go to your notifications by sliding down the screen from the top of your phone
Under your notifications, it says "Connected as a media device. Touch for other options"
Touch , switch to Camera (PTP) Your photos will be immediately accessable.
Only problem I am having, and maybe someone will have an answer, is my photos are
now downloaded in triplicate. The regular photo with file name, a "large" photo and a "best fit"
photo. I do not know how to change this. Can anyone help ???
Thanks
