File transfer OSX

[paparis13]

Hey guys,
Any advice on best way to transfer files with osx using usb? My mac doesn't see it as usb storage device, and htc sync manager doesn't work.
Using airdroid currently, but not as fast as i'd like.
Any advice?

I would think you can still install the drivers then it should be recognized.

Unfortunately haven't found any specific drivers. The software that comes with phone for osx can transfer music and pics, but doesn't allow for file transfer.

What kind of files? Do you want them on there permanently or do you just need them when you need them?

Put your phone into usb debugging mode. If that doesng work, try the thread below. Looks like people had similar problems with the one x and it's probably the same.

I've tried debugging, no good. I'll try that link, thanks.

I want to be able to view the phone internal storage as a drive so that i can transfer files. Ex. transfer documents, transfer roms i want to flash, etc.

This may help too. Good luck.

Google Android file transfer. Its a Google built app specifically for this purpose.

Yes I agree, Android file transfer is a good one. Air droid is also a good one. You do everything wirelessly though your browser.

I downloaded Htc media sync hoping that would work when I get my phone, I guess maybe not.

I installed HTC sync and it works perfectly with my Macbook Pro 13" retina (late 2012)

I'm able to transfer music and pics with htc sync, but not files. The files tab is gray'ed out and not accessible. It works for you?

I use airdroid as well... but some of these roms are >900mb, and takes too long sometimes with airdroid.

When using HTC sync can you select individual movies you want to sync? Since I only have the 32Gb model I have to be selcetive and can't put all my movies on the phone without maxing it out.

Haven't tried it, but i'm pretty sure you can.

I had the same problem but found that this works just fine. You need only install, start the application & plug your phone in via USB then you're good to go.

Android file transfer is the only way to access the file system on OS X that I have found. There are no available drivers to simply mount this as a storage device.

So what happened?

Android File Transfer doesn't recognize my One.

I tried hTc Sync Manager & AirDroid2, both didn't work for me either. ATF, seems to be the best but for some I can get it to work.

I remember with One X, it shows up in Finder and let's me select Drive or Charge only. Is there a way I can get that back (in settings)?
