Transfer Files from Android to Mac

LocalSend Web gives Android and Mac users a cleaner local transfer workflow when both devices are already on the same network.

Instead of plugging in a cable or bouncing files through cloud storage, you can open the browser on both devices and transfer directly across WiFi or LAN.

This is useful for moving phone photos, recordings, PDFs and downloaded files to a Mac without adding another sync layer.

Questions people ask

Does this require installing a desktop sync tool?

No. The goal here is a browser-based transfer flow on the same local network.

Can I use LAN instead of WiFi?

Yes. The devices only need local network reachability, whether that is WiFi, Ethernet or a mixed local setup.

Is cloud upload required before the Mac receives the file?

No. The intended workflow is local network transfer, not a cloud round trip.
