Android File Transfer

[NightFox]

Has anyone got Android File Transfer working on any of the Big Sur betas? It’s loading up fine but not detecting any MTP devices I connect. I’ve killed any potentially conflicting processes I can find in Activity Monitor, but still nothing. Anyone else had any joy?

AFT never worked properly for me! Look for an app called "Handshaker"

Thanks, but it's not an Android phone I'm wanting to connect, so Handshaker isn't an option (as it requires you to install an app on the phone).

It's actually a Garmin device that I'm wanting to pull data off due to the ongoing Garmin outage (which is looking more likely to be caused by ransomware the longer it goes on) - me and a few tens of thousands of other Garmin users I guess.

AFT has generally worked OK for me doing this before, so I'm guessing this is a Big Sur compatibility issue.

Although I use commander One to access my android devices
I just install AFT to give a try and seems to work, had a few crashes but I was able to transfer some file

OK, that's interesting. And you're running Big Sur? I'll try reinstalling AFT then.

Yes Big Sur beta 2, If you updated to beta 3 that's probably the cause as the version number was changed from 10.16 to 11

It works with beta 3, at least for me.
