Tetherfile moves files between a Mac and an Android phone or tablet over a USB cable. Plug in the phone and it appears as a ticket at the top of the window, with its storage used shown on the stub. Browse its internal storage and SD card as a list or as icons, and drag files and folders to Finder and back.
Copies run in a transfer queue with progress, time left, pause, cancel and retry, and files over 4 GB work. A copy from the phone is kept in a hidden file until its size matches, so a pulled cable never leaves a half-copied file on your Mac. Import Photos finds the camera folders and copies only what is new since the last import, into folders by date.
When the phone is locked, set to charging only, or in use by another app, Tetherfile says so and shows what to do. Several phones can be connected at once, each with its own ticket.
Drag files and folders from Finder to the phone and from the phone to Finder. Copy and paste works between folders and between phones.
List or icon view with thumbnails for photos, a path bar, sorting, type-to-select and search through a folder and everything inside it.
Progress from the measured speed, time left, pause, cancel and retry. Files over 4 GB and folders with thousands of files work.
Copies from the phone are renamed into place only after the size matches. Copies to the phone are size-checked on the phone afterwards. A pulled cable leaves nothing partial on the Mac.
When a name is already taken, choose Replace, Keep Both or Skip right in the transfer row, for one file or for all of them.
Finds the phone's camera folders, shows what is new since the last import and copies it into folders by year and day, year and month, or one folder.
Each phone or tablet gets its own ticket, with internal storage and SD card listed separately.
Plain pages for a locked phone, a phone set to charging only, or a phone another app is using, and a Disconnect button that tells you when it is safe to unplug.
Press Space to preview a phone file. New Folder, Rename with Undo, and Delete that always confirms how many items it will remove.

First release of Tetherfile.
Download the app from this page or your library. Files come from Macloving's download servers.
Open the file and drag the app into Applications. macOS checks the app before it opens for the first time.
Free apps work right away. No account is needed.
Need help? Read installing an app and activating paid access. Macloving never asks you to turn off macOS security features.
Unlock the phone and choose File transfer in its USB notification. If it still doesn't appear, try a different cable, since some cables only charge. If Photos or Image Capture is using the phone, Tetherfile tells you and offers Try Again once you quit that app.
No. Tetherfile is for Android phones and tablets, which share files over USB using MTP.
The copy stops and nothing half-copied is left on your Mac. Plug the phone in again and press Retry to finish it. A copy to the phone that stopped part-way is removed, or offered for removal when the phone reconnects.
Yes. Phones have no Trash over USB, so Tetherfile always asks first and shows how many items will be deleted.
Tetherfile uses libmtp and libusb under the GNU LGPL. Write to macloving.app/support and we'll send you their source code.
