While we are still a little far away from using an Android phone — or indeed any other smartphone — as a roving mobile office or desktop, the Samsung DeX docking station offers a great taste.
It supports data transfer through a USB cable, just like most of the Android-Mac data transfer software’s. In order to use Android File Transfer for Mac, you must ensure that your PC is operating on Mac-OS X 10.5 or later and your phone has Android 3.0 or later. There are two main challenges faced by users of this software. We also get to learn about what 3 generations of OS updates entails. The Galaxy S20 lineup, which launched with Android 10 for example will get its first update with Android 11 meaning it will get.
How to Access your Samsung Phone on Mac. Accessing your phone device on a Mac computer is quite different from the regular windows PC. This is because; there is no direct way for your device, even your Samsung phone, to communicate with a Mac. Android devices will generally communicate better with a PC. But this doesn’t mean that it is. Samsung has made a firm commitment for these smartphones and tablets. They will receive an additional Android OS upgrade, allowing users to experience new features and functionality in the third year. Samsung is applying this new upgrade policy from its 2019 flagships, foldable as well as select mid-range smartphones and tablets.

You initially had to buy a docking station to use your smartphone as your makeshift desktop machine on a monitor or display. Then, with the Note 9, you could use a USB-C to HDMI cable. Should you have the new Galaxy Note 10, you’re now able to launch and use DeX by using a dedicated Windows and Mac application (via Android Police).
[Update 01/06]: If you have the Galaxy S9 and Note 9, you’ll be pleased to hear that you can now use DeX for PC on your former flagship (via SamMobile). There was no explicit confirmation from Samsung that these devices would receive support for the mobile desktop hybrid but it appears that now you can plug your S9 and Note 9 right into your PC and run the not-quite-a-desktop replacement.
You don’t even need the Android 10 update to use DeX for Windows on your device either. Just install on your PC, plug in your device and fire the newly installed app up.

[Update 08/22]: The download page is now live just in time for the release of the Note 10 and Note 10+. If you were curious about installing DeX on your Mac or Windows machine you can find the official download links below:

The only caveat is that this still requires a USB-C cable connection to your PC, but really does give you much more flexibility of using DeX as a piece of software running on your machine rather than a standalone OS.
While a wired connection is still needed, it gives us hope that Samsung might eventually be able to rid of us of the wire entirely and connect wirelessly. You can already manage text messages, calls, and notifications on your PC with the Link to Windows feature that is new on the Note 10. This doesn’t replicate the proper DeX desktop, though.
At the moment, it appears that DeX for Windows and Mac only works on the recently revealed Note 10. There is no support for the Galaxy S10 and S10+ at the moment, it seems. Given just how similar the internals are on the Note 10 and S10, hopefully, Samsung can add support soon.
Android App For Mac
For those of you that want to be able to use DeX while running PC or Mac apps at the same time, this is quite a nice little addition to the system. I can’t say I would do so personally, but it could be really helpful if you want to work on files on your Note 10 on a big screen but lack the USB-C to HDMI hardware.
