Transferring files question

Hi.

I'm buying an Xperia SP for the first time. 

When connecting to a Mac to transfer files does it support full drag n' drop or do i still need to download a software (much like iTunes) to transfer such files?

Please advice. Thanks.

for a Mac you need Bridge on a PC you don't need anything 

 

Bridge (for Mac)

What i don't like with Apple iTunes is its very fiddly, very "close-platform orineted" and involves lots of synching files to it.

Does the Bridge for Mac have the abiity to just drag n drop files to it? (for faster much smoother transfer of files and not having to "synch")

Also, would updates be delivered via the Bridge or via over-the-air?

if its a small update (like most) then it will be both OTA or Bridge

Let me see if I can find the info because there's a way to access your internal storage/SD card on a mac just like you would on a PC

Managed to find my answer. 

Was a very easy drag n' drop process using the Android Transfer Protocol for MAc when i connected my Xperia SP. 

Very easy and convenient for me.
