You Sir are a Real GoPro Hero! I was so feed up with the QUIK app and all its issues that I was ready to dump GoPro-until I found this video! Thank you very much Antonio!
I was getting really fed up with my Go Pro, because it was a high maintenance for filming and storage transfer. Your video helped me streamline the process and I can now look forward to using this on my cycling tour of Italy. Thanks for the help.
Brilliant such an easy work around, I'm using a GoPro hero 7, iPhone and MacBook pro. can't believe GoPro haven't worked this into their own GoPro quick app on a MacBook, apple could easily allow access via usb to do this then at least you would still have internet connection instead of having to wait for this process to finish to then reconnect to your internet wifi connection.
Chinese asswipes company....so they will always do that.......privacy breaching is in their blood....basic functionality will work only if you share your phone number and location and tell them my kidney health or if i give proof of life. Even their Redmi phone will keep on interrupting your normal SMS app asking if you want to use their msging app so they can nicely data harvest.
Thanks a lot! I had a problem with unstable internet, so I couldn't download files from the cloud because the download ended with an error.. I used your method, and additionally I used the download manager. It works!
This was cool. Kind of an esoteric way for GoPro to make it possible. I tried to use the cord first but no drive showed up? Glad to have found your video. It saved me a lot of time and really helped. Thank you!
What if the GoPro's ID/name doesn't appear in the wireless list? Is it confirmed to work with GoPro11? The wireless connections are turned on. I tried both Wi-fi bands, 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. I have already successfully connected a GoPro 7 by the same method, but it doesn't seen to work with the 11.
You made my day! Bought a Macbook to edit GoPro videos and then -> Quicktime file isn't compatible with Quicktime Player.....huhhhhh. :) Apple has to kill the Image Capture
Wowly! Watching this tut, connected my Gopro with the USB cable, without the Quick app installed, my Android File Transfer opened and I could acces it like so!! 😎😎
there doesn't seem to be any application for gopro on a MacBook, only phone and iPad that I can find. The old gopro app would easily transfer media to my phone. Cant do that either.
This is awesome. Thanks a lot! Can someone tell me where these videos are pulling from? I have video through the link that aren't on the camera itself. Are they stored somewhere else that I am not aware of from previous downloads?
Nice work man. Just got the GoPro 7 Black and weirdly I couldn't connect it through the C cable. My mac can not see the GoPro. Yesterday I bought " USB 3.1 Gen.2 SuperSpeed+ 10Gbps" this perhaps should resolve the issue.(I found some video on youtube) Let's see, fingers crossed. I don't have the original Gopro type C cable but I bought a date usb A to C cable but it doesn't work. It's really strange. Your way works but it time consuming but fair play for figure it out:) Thanks bud
Did your new cable work? My original GoPro cable would not work to upload, but the cable I bought from the Dollar Tree worked, strangely. But it's very slow.
Very informative and helpful video! Like you said, I have no idea why GoPro doesn't have an enable WiFi function on the camera itself. I guess they need the App downloads?
Great info of how to transfer files, ive spent weeks telling GoPro there's a problem with the usb and ive ended up getting a new camera when its the cable and yes GoPro should have known this all I was told that the 9 does not recognise Quik..
As far as I remember the password is unique and you can only see that through the camera’s screen. You might however be able to connect to the camera from the GoPro app (which uses Bluetooth) and get the password somehow from that app. Or reattach the screen for a moment.
needing the app on the phone kills this, unless your phone is compatible with the app, which of course mine is not. It can't be that hard to connect to a PC using bluetooth...makes you wonder why they want the app in the middle? spyware on the phone?
You do the right thing with the mp4. Everything is in the mp4, including camera metadata from sensors such as the GPS sensor. The lrv is only preview file for the camera.
You’ll need to download the individual videos and then merge them together. Maximum file size is 4GB in FAT32 SD card so that larger files are going to be divided.
This does not work. I do NOT have a smartphone. How does one connect to wifi without using a smartphone? ___________________________________________________
You Sir are a Real GoPro Hero! I was so feed up with the QUIK app and all its issues that I was ready to dump GoPro-until I found this video! Thank you very much Antonio!
Confirmed that this indeed works with a GoPro HERO 10. Thanks AMP!
It is mind boggling how difficult and hacky GoPro makes this important feature.
I was getting really fed up with my Go Pro, because it was a high maintenance for filming and storage transfer. Your video helped me streamline the process and I can now look forward to using this on my cycling tour of Italy. Thanks for the help.
The single video teaching us to download fast and simple the files from gopro cameras. A BIG, BIG, BIG THANK YOU!
This was a life savior. I lost my data cable on a trip. Thank you so much for the tip. Worked like a charm.
Disappointed on how cumbersome GoPro has made transferring videos. This video is so helpful, thank you very much!

Thanks for the great vid. To GoPro company: we shouldn't have to hack your device to access the media from a laptop.

Thanks a lot! I had a problem with unstable internet, so I couldn't download files from the cloud because the download ended with an error.. I used your method, and additionally I used the download manager. It works!
Download manager idea for multiple files download is perfect.
I got it to work on my PC + GoPro Hero 4. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Thank you. This is the most helpful video yet for transferring GoPro footage to a Mac.
Exactly, why not a button for activate WIFI. Why to have to go via the APP and "fool" the camera to put on WIFI. Thanks for this tip.
thanks buddy u are awesome really let me alot , pls let me know which download manager to use and how to setup
thank you. the file .lrv is also a video or what is it? which download manager do u recommend to download all of them?
This was cool. Kind of an esoteric way for GoPro to make it possible. I tried to use the cord first but no drive showed up? Glad to have found your video. It saved me a lot of time and really helped. Thank you!
Hey! I have my gopro without battery but is connected to a power bank. Can i still get all the files from it? Including the .raw files for photo?
Where do u get the address link for safari
What if the GoPro's ID/name doesn't appear in the wireless list? Is it confirmed to work with GoPro11? The wireless connections are turned on. I tried both Wi-fi bands, 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. I have already successfully connected a GoPro 7 by the same method, but it doesn't seen to work with the 11.
I can't seem to connect to that site. Is there an updated site ?
Legend!!! You are my new 'Hero'
very informative video. Can you suggest a download manager for windows10 so I can download my files consecutively?
Crazy to me that they don't have this option available by now, interesting work around tho!
its the Quik app. the old gopro app allowed you to move media to phone. I can't figure out how to do this.
You made my day! Bought a Macbook to edit GoPro videos and then -> Quicktime file isn't compatible with Quicktime Player.....huhhhhh. :) Apple has to kill the Image Capture
Helped me with gopro hero 9. Thank you!
Wowly! Watching this tut, connected my Gopro with the USB cable, without the Quick app installed, my Android File Transfer opened and I could acces it like so!! 😎😎
I got this to work with a GoPro 9, but I also got the mod to transfer via USB-C after trying a couple different cables.
there doesn't seem to be any application for gopro on a MacBook, only phone and iPad that I can find. The old gopro app would easily transfer media to my phone. Cant do that either.
Thank you...no more cables to hook up.
I'm considering buying a GoPro. I'm concerned that I'd have to buy stuff to go with it to make it of any use. I have a macbook but no iPhone.
Yes! It does work! I thought there must be a way to do it and you found it and described it that it is easy understandable and doable. Thanks!
You saved me a huge headache!!!! thank you.
Worked a treat on the GoPro 7 Silver, thank you
This is awesome. Thanks a lot! Can someone tell me where these videos are pulling from? I have video through the link that aren't on the camera itself. Are they stored somewhere else that I am not aware of from previous downloads?

Did your new cable work? My original GoPro cable would not work to upload, but the cable I bought from the Dollar Tree worked, strangely. But it's very slow.
so a quick question - will this also work on Windows platform or only MAC?
Does work both on Windows and Mac (also Linux as well if you’re into that)
I got auto uploads on my phone, but I can't see GoPro on my Wi-Fi network. To be frank I can't see any other network I can connect to but my :(
Very informative and helpful video! Like you said, I have no idea why GoPro doesn't have an enable WiFi function on the camera itself. I guess they need the App downloads?
GoPro should really give as an option to turn the WiFi on directly from the camera!
Thanks man, you're really help to me.
Great info of how to transfer files, ive spent weeks telling GoPro there's a problem with the usb and ive ended up getting a new camera when its the cable and yes GoPro should have known this all I was told that the 9 does not recognise Quik..
hi why can't I down load GoPro quik from the apple store? do you know, I have it on my iPad
maybe you need to upgrade you IOS version
Thanks I am using your info. Subscribed!
excellent walk thru
Woooow awesome. Been strugling with it for a while. Thanks!
Wonderful Explanation, Thank You Very Much ! Just What I Needed.
bhahhaha....even better question...how is daylight coming in through the window after 10pm according to your phone? LOL I love it!
I don't have the option to download when I right click on the files in the directory.
I have the GoPro Hero 1 Black without a screen and a Macbook air 2020. Is it possible for me to connect the GoPro to the Wi-Fi? Thx!
I believe GoPro added the WiFi chip starting with HERO3, late 2012, so I would guess it’s not possible to connect a HERO1 via WiFi.
what app is it?????
Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.
I have a naked gopro hero 8. How do I get the default wifi password for this gopro, in order to connect to a Windows PC?
As far as I remember the password is unique and you can only see that through the camera’s screen. You might however be able to connect to the camera from the GoPro app (which uses Bluetooth) and get the password somehow from that app. Or reattach the screen for a moment.
needing the app on the phone kills this, unless your phone is compatible with the app, which of course mine is not. It can't be that hard to connect to a PC using bluetooth...makes you wonder why they want the app in the middle? spyware on the phone?
This is exactly what I'm looking
What’s the difference between lrv and mp4. I assume I need the mp4 but what are the other for
You do the right thing with the mp4. Everything is in the mp4, including camera metadata from sensors such as the GPS sensor. The lrv is only preview file for the camera.
I went to the 10. and nothing/ some google search came up instead
don't work with gopro7 :(
how do you download long videos since theyre broken up
You’ll need to download the individual videos and then merge them together. Maximum file size is 4GB in FAT32 SD card so that larger files are going to be divided.
really great info
Great manner to learn hoy to ge3t5 the best from GoPro. Thanks.
This was so helpful! Thank you!!!
Very helpful video. it is worked for me

This does not work. I do NOT have a smartphone. How does one connect to wifi without using a smartphone?
___________________________________________________
Ah! looks like Gopro have now closed that loophole. All I see is Camera info....
camera name
serial No.
Version No.
you may be looking in the preference menu. Look in the conection menu / camera information.👍
hell yeah. tY!
Didn't work - sorry, but having better and more detailed explanations would help
+
GoPro software is stupidest soft in the world.
GoPro is dumb as hell. Why didn’t go pro just allow Bluetooth or WiFi to download to computer. So dumb. That is why I use my iPhone.
your bald is shining a lot is disturbing me
thats fuckin rude
better bald than stupid!
