One feature I love about Android over iOS is the ability to just copy files to and from your Mac or Windows PC. No file limitations and very easy to copy your MP3 music and even organise your files the way you want to using folders (like I have a folder “Music for the Gym”, upbeat music for when I manage to drag myself to the gym!).

Windows PC is a simple plug in and play affair, the Mac is a little more complicated with the installation os the Android File Transfer app and things, here is a quick guide:

1. On you Mac download and install the free official Android File Transfer app. Follow the installation instruction on the website and then start/run it.

2. If all you see when you run the file transfer app on your mac is a box saying “No Android device found” then go see my guide to fix this here.

3. Copy your files using Finder, try copying some MP3 files from your Mac to the “Music” folder on your Android device, go play them on your Android device using the Music Player app.
