Samsung S9 cannot be backed up to Apple MacBook using Smartswitch

[john eagle]

Samsung support have informed me that Smartswitch does not work with the later versions of Mac software. I have High Sierra 10.13.6 and it does not connect.
I was told this was a known problem which had been passed to the app development team but they were unable to tell me how or when this problem was going to be fixed.
I find this incredible that you cannot backup this phone to apple mac and would like to know if anyone knows what is being done to fix it.
I have only had the phone a few weeks switching from an iPhone 6 and had I known about this I would not have bought the phone.
Also it took me 3 phone calls to support and a visit to a service centre before they admitted this problem.

I moved this from the old Galaxy Nexus forum to the S9 forum.

Yes I have successfully used Android File Transfer to transfer photos from my Galaxy S9 to my AppleMac, however I wanted to hold a backup of my phone on my Applemac and this does not work.
Is there another way to backup my phone to my AppleMac? I can backup to the cloud but I want a copy under my control on my PC

check to see if your software is running this. I'm on Mojave with no issues
