Take a look at AirDroid, it's free and in the Play Store. It mounts the
Android device on the Mac desktop and allows dragging files in either
direction over your local network. It also allows a lot of other things
too, including running your Android apps on the Mac.
If you want a more shell type experience, use ADB, which you'll need to
install anyway if you develop apps. ADB is part of the Android SDK.
For some types of files you can just cable the device to the Mac and it
shows up as a volume on the desktop, but this has some limitations
depending on the manufacturer.

I have recently got an Android tablet and am seeking advice on how best to
work with it in general, not so much with Livecode yet. My main machine is
a Mac. I would like to be able to easily swap files with the Android tablet
via wifi and to remotely login to it from the Mac. I am hoping that I can
do so over the local wifi rather than having to connect the Android tablet
via USB.
I have a couple of Raspberry Pis on which I installed netatalk so that I
can access their file systems in macOS Finder. It makes swapping data
between the Mac and the Raspberry Pi a simple matter of drag and drop. Does
anybody know if it is possible to install netatalk on an Android device?
I usually use SSH to run programs on the Raspberry Pi. I see that there is
an app called SSHDroid. Has anybody used it or something similar?
When I want to access the Raspberry Pi desktop, I connect to the VNC server
running on the Raspberry Pi. Is anybody connecting to their Android "tablet
top” from a Mac? How do yo do it?
Sorry about going off topic.
Peter
