Go Pro Hero For Mac



The WiFi Connector for Hero 8 enables WiFi on your GoPro Hero 8 or Max 360° camera so that you can connect to the GoPro's WiFi network. You can then use other apps (for instance Camera Suite, Camera Controller, VLC for streaming, etc) which rely on the WiFi connection. Adobe Premiere Pro CC- Windows and Mac OS. Adobe Premiere Pro is my favorite pick in this list. GoPro Fusion Studio App. GoPro App for Desktop.

How to do it?

There are a few different ways to get your photos and videos from the camera to your computer.

We do not recommend using a USB Hub or Media Reader.

Gopro Desktop Mac

#1 - Use Quik for desktop

Please refer to this link on How to Import Using Quik for Desktop​
If your camera is not being recognized in Quik for desktop, please refer to this article

#2 - Use an SD Adapter

If you have an SD adapter for your MicroSD card, you can insert the Micro SD card into the adapter and insert the adapter into your computer.

  • Open a new Finder window. Your SD card will be on the left sidebar under the 'devices' section.
  • Double-click on your SD card, and you should see two folders: DCIM and MISC.

  • Now double-click on the DCIM folder. In that, you'll see a folder named 100GOPRO. (Note - if you took more than 9999 pictures or videos, you'll see 101GOPRO, 102GOPRO, 103GOPRO, etc. folders).
