Pair your devices once
Scan the Mac pairing code from the Galaxy Tab and approve the relationship on both devices.
Back to all guides
File movement guide
Transfer files between your Galaxy Tab and Mac. Both ways.
Drag from the edge of your Mac. Share back from your Galaxy Tab. TabShare gives each direction an action that already belongs on that device.
The short answer
One paired relationship. Two natural directions.
After your Mac and Galaxy Tab are paired, TabShare keeps file movement local and gives the receiving device a clear arrival. You do not need to copy an address, upload to a drive, or name the network path.
Drag from Mac to Tab
Move files to the edge of the Mac screen. Edge Portal appears and sends them to the paired Galaxy Tab.
Share from Tab to Mac
Choose TabShare from Android Share, drag into TabShare in split-screen, or select a file inside the companion app.
Continue where the file arrived
Review the arrival on your Galaxy Tab, or open and reveal Mac-owned files from the Mac receipt and Shelf.
Mac to Galaxy Tab
Drag to the edge instead of opening another window.
Edge Portal stays out of the way until your drag reaches the screen edge. Drop one file or a group, and the Galaxy Tab shows what arrived.
Galaxy Tab to Mac
Use the Share action already inside Android apps.
Gallery, My Files, Samsung Notes export, and other apps can give TabShare an ordinary file. The Mac stores the verified result in your chosen receive location and offers the next action.
Other good options
Choose the tool that matches the moment.
Quick Share and LocalSend can be good choices for an occasional send on compatible devices. TabShare is designed around one repeated Mac plus Galaxy Tab relationship, with Edge Portal, Paper Roundtrip, Automatic Delivery, Shared Clipboard, and Shelf around the same paired devices.
Good to know
Clear answers before you begin.
Do files pass through a cloud server?
No. File payloads move over the local network between devices that you paired explicitly.
Where do files arrive on the Mac?
They land in the receive location you chose in TabShare. The default is the TabShare folder inside Downloads.
Can I send from Samsung Notes?
Yes, when Samsung Notes exports or shares a PDF, image, or text file. TabShare does not access private note storage.
