macOS and Android are a notoriously bad match — Apple's AirDrop ignores Android, and the official "Android File Transfer" app is slow and crash-prone. ShareBeam skips all of it: open the browser on your Mac and your Android phone, connect over the same Wi-Fi, and move files directly between them.
On Mac, open ShareBeam and create a room.
On Android phone, join using the QR code or 6-digit code.
Drag and drop the files, photos, or folders you want to send.
Files move directly between the devices — fast and private.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi? For the fastest, fully local transfer, yes — keep both Mac and Android phone on the same network.
Will my photos lose quality? No. Unlike messaging apps, ShareBeam sends the original file untouched, so photos and videos arrive at full quality.
Is it really free? Yes, ShareBeam is completely free with no limits and no sign-up. Read more in our FAQ.
