Transfer file from Android to iOS devices or vice versa without iTunes

The entire Apple ecosystem consists of closed-source operating systems like iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, and despite the fact that macOS is built on an open-source foundation, it has an enormous API that is closed source.

Due to the closed nature of the Apple ecosystem, it becomes quite tricky for Android smartphone users to connect their smartphones with macOS notebooks and desktops. Luckily there are many programs and services like Airdroid, Samsung Smart Switch, Dropbox, and many more that can help you transfer data from Android to macOS with ease.

However, a majority of these services have certain limitations, and at times they are exclusively available for a particular smartphone brand. While scouting for the best program in existence that can effortlessly connect Android to Mac we came across Dr.fone – Phone Manager.

Once your Android smartphone is connected to a Mac you can seamlessly transfer data from Android to Mac.
