File transfers on Android are a painful experience. Google’s forced reliance on the Media Transfer Protocol ever since Android 4.0, and the accompanying Android File Transfer app on Mac have been nothing short of a nuisance for me. Not only is it hard to move over large quantities of files, but even smaller transfers often fail or get stuck. Windows users have it slightly better thanks to the built-in MTP support in Windows, but the situation isn’t drastically better there.
