How to mount MTP device as drive - MTP Driver for Mac - Connect Android Phone to Mac

1)Installing OSXFUSE from here: http://osxfuse.github.io According to the site, OSXFUSE ”allows you to extend OS X's native file handling capabilities via third-party file systems”. Just double-click the package file, insert your administrator password and install it.

2)Installing Command Line Tools for Xcode: open a terminal and type: xcode-select --install

3)Installing Homebrew, a nice package manager for OS X, similar to Debian’s Apt, Fedora’s Dnf,… You’ll need this to install easily libmtp and simple-mtpfs To install it, open a terminal window and paste: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Hom...)"

4)Install libmtp and simple-mtpfs, and all their dependencies (automatically installed by homebrew) type in a terminal: brew install libmtp simple-mtpfs

5)create a mount point, on which the phone will be mounted. I created a folder under my home folder called simply “phone”

6)plug the phone with the usb cable, choose file transfer mode, then open a terminal and type: simple-mtpfs -f /Users/yourusername/desktop/phone/

7)Enjoy it! Now you should see your phone in the Finder window

Enable USB Debugging if not worked.
