Other Droid phones I've used mounted the drives as you would expect.įor me, the Samsung will not do this on a Mac.Īfter a quick search for KIES, I see Samsung is no longer supporting this for Mac.
I've tried installing it several times, and it never finds the S5. Android File Transfer does not work for me. The ONLY way I can get my Mac to see my S5 is to use the KIES app on the Mac. I've talked to Samsung support about it, they will eventually admit it if pressed. There isn't USB Mass Storage support on the Samsung phones. I see a lot of advice here based on other phones, but my experience with Samsung S-series + iMac via USB connection is that the Mac WILL NOT see the disks as a drive in Finder.
