Hey everyone!
I just got a GoPro and I’m trying to move my videos to my Mac. I’ve heard there are a few ways to do it, but I’m not sure what’s the fastest or easiest.
Anyone got a simple step-by-step or tips on how to connect the GoPro and import the videos?
Would really appreciate the help. Thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.7
Easiest: take the card from the Go Pro, insert into the SD card adaptor and pop that into the Card Reader on your Mac. Or if your Mac doesn't have a built-in card reader then buy a USB one. They're inexpensive.

Perhaps as a personal preference, I wouldn't connect it with a cable--I don't trust what goes through those wires unless I have to. Many of us have cameras like Nikons or Canons, etc, and we do this every day. Even with my silly dash cam in my car, I use Yer_Man's suggestion of popping the SD card out and sticking it in my MacBook. (For my earlier MacAir and my iPad, I bought a card reader.) The card just comes up as a drive, and you can drag the files into a folder on your Mac. Perfect.
There are a number of options, but here are a couple of the best ones for me. You can connect your GoPro to your Mac with a USB cable and use MacDroid to access the camera's storage directly, then simply drag and drop your videos into folders. Another option is to remove the SD card and use software like GoPro Quik to quickly import and organize them.
Great idea. I'll try it. Thanks!
I appreciate your reply. I'll probably use this advice.
Thanks :)
