- Close Android File Transfer
- Open Activity Monitor and kill “Android File Transfer Agent”
- Go to where you installed “Android File Transfer.app” (I have it under /Applications)
- Ctrl+click –> “Show package contents”
- Go to Contents/Resources
- Rename “Android File Transfer Agent” to e.g. “Android File Transfer Agent_DISABLED”
- Then go to “/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer” and again rename the Agent app.

Disable auto start for Android File Transfer
Thank you @krischik & @thenamangoyal 🙏
@krischik Fixed the missing check for
${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer/Android File Transfer Agent.app
.The updated script
#!/bin/zsh typeset PID=$(ps -fe | grep "[A]ndroid File Transfer Agent" | awk '{print $2}') if [[ -n ${PID} ]]; then kill ${PID} fi for AFT in \ "/Applications/Android File Transfer.app" \ "/Applications/Sync/Android File Transfer.app" \ "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Google/Android File Transfer" do echo "### Look for agents in “${AFT}”" if test -e "${AFT}"; then for AFTA in \ "${AFT}/Contents/Resources/Android File Transfer Agent.app" \ "${AFT}/Contents/Helpers/Android File Transfer Agent.app" \ "${AFT}/Android File Transfer Agent.app" do echo "# Look for agent “${AFTA}”" if test -e "${AFTA}"; then mv -v "${AFTA}" "${AFTA}.DISABLE" fi done; unset AFTA fi done; unset AFT osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delete every login item whose name is "Android File Transfer Agent"'
