Pixel file transfer issues with Mac due to old Android File Transfer software

In computer years, 2012 seems so ancient. And that’s partly the reason why Android File Transfer on Mac is causing some problems. The version running there is still from four years back. But aside from the dated software, a big issue with the program is it doesn’t have proper USB Type-C support. Some files it can copy, but not all. It makes sense if you think how a four-year-old program won’t have USB Type-C support as that didn’t exist then. Android Authority also seems to be pointing out the cable itself. Hopefully, Google pays better attention to this software and help make lives easier for Mac users with Pixel phones. An alternative app Android Authority suggests is Handshaker. This will supposedly work with both the Pixel phone and its accompanying cable.
