Transfer Files from Mac to Android — No Cable, No Buggy App

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.
