    As for the question of why, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility that they just don’t feel like maintaining it anymore.

      I think this may be true. After my last Mac upgrade, the app did not work with either of my phones. It looked like just a timing issue, because the files would eventually appear but the file transfer app had given up and wouldn’t let you do anything but quit. Probably a fairly minor bug that for whatever reason they just won’t fix.

    I really hope this means either a new MTP app is coming (ideal) or quick share for MacOS is officially coming (ok)

      Did they fix moving large files? This has been a big issue for me with it.

    I really wish they’d just fix it. For whatever reason, the app just fails to connect to my phone. I already made sure it’s trusted and tried all of the USB options.

    The only transfer method that seems to work for me is adb pull and adb push.
