About This App

Android File Transfer Agent is a utility bundled with or launched by Google's Android File Transfer app, which enables macOS users to connect Android devices via USB and transfer files, photos, videos and other content between a Mac and an Android phone or tablet. The agent acts as a background service that manages the file transfer protocol and device communication. It is primarily used by Android developers, power users and anyone who needs to move files between Android devices and macOS without relying on cloud services.

Android File Transfer Agent is a helper component of Google's Android File Transfer application, not a standalone app — it cannot be updated or launched separately. If you are using an older Intel-only version of Android File Transfer, you should update the main Android File Transfer app itself to ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build. Visit Google's official Android File Transfer download page or check whether your copy auto-updates via Google's updater. If Google has not yet shipped a native build of Android File Transfer for Apple Silicon, contact Google directly or check their support site to ask about native macOS 28 compatibility before late 2027, when Rosetta 2 will be removed.
