Mac – How to get the Mac to see and transfer files from the android phone

androidmac

When I hook up a USB cable from my Mac to my Samsung Galaxy phone I get a notice that says
"Can't access device storage" "Make sure your device is unlocked and that File transfer or MTP mode is selected"
How do I find "MTP mode"? How do I find "Unlock"?

Android devices require a driver/app install - they will not natively hook up to a Mac.

Google provides Android File Transfer for this task.
