For those who have an Oppo smartphone and a Mac computer, the issue of incompatibility is not a new thing. Unfortunately, simple methods of transferring files between these devices do not work, as these operating systems use different formats to store data. So if you don’t want to limit the functionality of both your devices, you can use third-party Oppo Mac file transfer software to be able freely to transfer data back and forth.
MacDroid is an excellent app developed to facilitate incompatibility issues between Mac computers and Android phones, like Oppo. With the help of this app, you can establish an Oppo Mac connection to transfer information stored on your phone, be it photos, videos, documents, messages, etc. MacDroid guarantees a fast and convenient data transfer.
MacDroid is available in two versions: free and paid. The only difference between the versions is that the paid version allows performing data transfer in both directions, namely from Android to Mac and vice versa, whereas the functionality of a free version is limited to one direction, namely from Android to Mac. So if you need to transfer files from your Android devices to Mac, the free version is more than enough.
MacDroid offers two connectivity modes for Android file transfer, namely MTP and ADB. Connect your smartphone via a USB cable and choose the mode that fully meets your requirements. Another great plus of the app is being able to access the content of your phone right from Finder.
Price: free version, Pro costs $19,99

The best alternative to synchronize folders and files with my android phone and external disks, its ease of use makes your day to day more productive — ingcruzm, MacUpdate
Android File Transfer (AFT) is the default solution offered by Google for transferring files between a Mac and an Android device. In order to establish Oppo file transfer to a Mac computer, you just need a USB cable. The app is fully compatible with macOS 10 and later as well as Android 3.0 and later, so no matter which operating system your device has, be sure that with Android File Transfer your connection will be established with ease.
However, being such a great app for file transfer, the app has a bit outdated interface, and users claim to have issues with connectivity. Another disadvantage of this Oppo file transfer Mac solution is its inability to perform multiple simultaneous file transfers, making users wait by transferring one file at a time.
