With QuickDrop, you can seamlessly send and receive photos, videos, text files, and more between your Android phone and your iPhone, iPad or Mac using Quick Share in the same Wi-Fi network. Received files will be stored in the Files app, and are transmitted end-to-end encrypted over Wi-Fi - so no cloud is involved in the process.
To send files from your iPhone and iPad to your Mac or Android device, just select "Share" or tap the share icon for a file you want to transfer, and choose "QuickDrop". If you don't see QuickDrop in the list, scroll right until you see "More", then choose "Edit", and enable the toggle for QuickDrop.
Other devices on the same network with QuickDrop installed and running will appear automatically. You can also open QuickDrop, tap on a device, and choose one or multiple files from the Files app, choose one or multiple photos and videos, or send the contents of your clipboard.
After that, you will see a notification on your other device, which allows you to accept or decline the file transfer. To receive files, you simply need to open the QuickDrop app.

Quick Drop seems to be the best Android to Mac App to get working with the least amount of hassle and issues. All others I tried in the App Store were “Pay for good features” or didn’t even work properly once installed.

Developer Response
Hi there, the extension is sometimes not shown due to a macOS bug. In this case, please restart your Mac, and try again. Let me know if this helped.

File transfer was fast and easy. I haven’t found a way to tell it that every transfer from me is okay, without setting a blanket okay.
Not free at all
