I want to be able to download files from my mac to my Oculus, it seems I can't anymore. I've done everything I've been able to find on the internet. Android File Transfer, registered as a developer, (I'm not) enable developer mode. Meta doesn't offer any help at all.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Use SideQuest, it works on mac and all you have to do is plug your headset in to your Mac and choose to trust the computer in your headset.

Nothing has changed from when I was able to move files from my Mac to my Oculus Quest 2, but it was probably a month or more since I did it. I seem to have found a fix with SideQuest. Why so much work for something that I was able to do so effortlessly before. Register as a developer, navigate system settings, download an extra program? Please bring back a fix so regular people can move files without this hasssle because the average people won't do it.

Still having issues, SideQuest is not working smoothly or at all for me.
Android File Transfer was perfect, not sure why it has stopped working. Please look into further.

Hey @Kitesur4, we can't speak for SideQuest no longer working because that's not a program we officially support. As for the Android File Transfer issue, we've been receiving reports from Mac users that this process is no longer working for them but the team is still looking into this.

I appreciate this being looked into, I totally spaced that this my be a Android File Transfer issue and not Oculus. But, as there are a lot of Mac users, finding a fix would benefit everyone. I hope it is resolved quickly as the Android File Transfer was a simple way to move files. Thank you for your help and looking into it.
Cheers....Doug
