The idea of channeling your files from your computer into your smartphone, or vice versa, using a USB cable all the time may sound burdensome, let alone time-consuming.
In the case of transferring your vacation photos or video clips of an important occasion in your life, for instance, from your MacBook Air or Pro to your Nokia Lumia device, the process even more entails a quicker and smoother method.
First off, you need to download the Windows Phone App for Mac for an easier transport of your files. The app is available from the Apple Appstore, which will require you to log in first, or sign up for first-time users, to access the application.
Once you have downloaded the Windows Phone App for Mac to your computer, connect your Nokia Lumia handset to your Mac with the USB cable associated with your mobile phone. Run the application.
