A GoPro action camera allows you to save exciting moments and memories, but sooner or later you will need to move the footage to your computer to share it with others, edit it, upload it to the cloud, or simply safeguard it locally.
Below, we’re sharing a solution called MacDroid that allows you to import GoPro videos to Mac. Learn how to connect your action camera to your computer via cable and the app to enjoy a quick and efficient file transfer.
Using the MacDroid app and a USB-C cable gives users access to their GoPro from the Finder and allows them to directly transfer video files without file size restrictions. This, and the lack of need for an SD card adapter, makes the method easy and very practical.
