LocalShare
Send photos, 4K videos, and folders directly from Android to your MacBook, iMac, or Mac mini with zero cloud delay.
Connecting to secure peer network...
Connecting an Android phone to a MacBook with a USB cable has always been a painful experience on macOS. Google's official Android File Transfer app is essentially abandoned and often fails with "Cannot access device storage" errors. LocalShare fixes this completely by establishing an instant local wireless bridge.
Transfer speeds match your local router's capability (up to 50–70 MB/s on 5GHz Wi-Fi), beating Bluetooth by over 100x.
No need for USB-C adapters, dongles, or debugging drivers. Works wirelessly between any Android device and any Mac.
Don't waste Google Drive or Dropbox storage limits. Files stream directly between devices without internet storage.
localshare-app.pages.dev in Safari or Chrome on your Mac, and Chrome on Android.Google's desktop tool uses outdated MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) drivers that conflict with macOS system integrity protection and camera daemons. LocalShare avoids cables and MTP altogether by using direct WebRTC network streams.
Yes. Because LocalShare is completely browser-based, it runs at full native speed on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel-based MacBooks, Mac mini, and iMac.
No. Bluetooth transfer speeds top out at only 100–300 KB/s, making it excruciatingly slow for video clips. LocalShare on Wi-Fi transfers at 30,000–60,000 KB/s (30–60 MB/s), which is hundreds of times faster.
