a Mac computer will need to install <a

able to transfer files between macOS and Android. After plugging in the phone to
the computer, there will be a notification showing the current USB mode with

to transfer files between macOS and Android. After plugging in the phone to the
computer, there will be a notification showing the current USB mode with
charging as the default. Pressing the notification acts as a shortcut to

the files to yourself via an end-to-end encrypted messaging app like Element (Matrix).</p>
