MacBook Pro: Android File Transfer, says "Could not connect" even though my Android phone gets the 'Allow' notification. Restarted needed

MacBook Pro: Everytime I want to use the Android File Transfer, it says "Could not connect to Device. Try reconnecting or restarting your device" even though I am connected and my Android phone gets the 'Allow' notification and I allow it. I have to restart my computer each time with it connected. Unless I restart my computer with the cable already connected, my Macbook doesn't recognize my android. This issue started a few months ago, was working fine before then. It's time consuming to need to restart my computer anytime I want to take files off of it. This the intel macbook pro, running 13.1 The phone is a samsung A52, completely up to date with android 13
