android file transfer between Macbook air ventura 13.2.1 and Samsung A52s

I have just bought a new Samsung A52s phone. Android file transfer just will not connect. I have tried everything - several cables, several restarts of both phone and Macbook, trying with every app closed.Nothing seems to work.

Incidentally on one thread someone suggested checking the start up items. I can't even find startup items in the system preferences.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

I couldn't find any system compatibility requirements except 10.7 and higher. That was a long time ago. It doesn't appear to need any drivers installed, so the age of the software probably isn't an issue.


There are trouble-shooting steps here: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9064445?visit_id=638184655898834771-3857542082&rd=1#zippy=%2Cmac-computer


One of them was checking the cable and ports. If connecting through a hub, try direct-connecting to a port on the Mac. An adaptor is ok, just not any sort of hub.
