Hi, all. Perhaps I'm missing something, but my Mac mini M2 Pro doesn't see my Brailliant BI40X as a storage device as it does on Windows. Is there something I'm missing? I'd like to be able to transfer files to and from the display to my Mac. Thanks for any advice.

Just bumping this thread. Just got my BI20X. I know there is an old fuse package on the humanware website, but fuse, as far as I can tell, is no longer compatible with mac os 15.

Any ideas? I'd like to be able to do some writing on the device and transfer to my mac without messing about with thumb drives. They really should include cloud access.

If it uses Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), you'll need to install additional tools on the Mac, as macOS doesn't support MTP by default.

OpenMTP appears to be an option, but I haven't tried it, so I can't comment further.

Looking on the mailing list, they are aware of the issue and are working on a solution. How long that takes though is anyone's guess.
