  • file transfer w apple
    Since no one else has mentioned OpenMTP I will. Great for bulk transfers from or to Mac or Boox. You can place files in the directory you want, on either side. Offers drag-and-drop as well. Similar to the Android file transfer app, except it’s far less clunky and far, far faster with transfers. Source: over 1 year ago

    Not 100% sure but I don't think that an iOS device is compatible with an android device without an additional mtp software. For MacOS there is OpenMTP (https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com/), don't know about iPhone solutions though. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Struggling
    As a start, try transferring files via USB cable. As a mac user, you first have to install an MTP software (e. g. https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com/) on your computer to get a connection to the Android based Supernote, but once this is done, file transfer should be pretty easy copy and paste.

  • I am about 15 minutes away from returning my Supernote A5
    Supernote is based on Android operating system. Mac and Android can't communicate without an 'translator' between them. Therefor you first have to install an MTP software like e.g. This one Https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com On your Mac. Than you can connect Mac and Supernote with a USB cable and transfer files. You will still first have to convert note files to pdf to open them on your Mac. Source: over 1 year ago
