Samsung phone users cannot directly transfer photos, videos and other data to Mac computer via USB cable, some Samsung phone users can move them to Mac via Android File Transfer in macOS Ventura before. But after updating to macOS Ventura, it doesn't work. If they want to move a lot of photos and videos from Samsung phone to Mac, are there other free and easy ways? Here’s how:

Open the Image Capture or Photos application on your Mac. And tap Allow on your Samsung phone. Then the Image Capture or Photos app should automatically detect your Samsung phone and display its photos in the app's import tab.
