Best way to transfer local files to my Android device.

I have a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It comes with the painfully slow USB 2.0. I wish to transfer local music files to it, but it’s taking a long time to get copied over USB connection as well as it fails in-between sometimes. Is there any way to transfer the files in a quick and reliable manner?

That model of phone seems to have an SD card slot; if you have an adapter to use a micro SD card on your PC, just throw the MP3s onto one of those.

KDE Connect :)

Just actually looked into this app thanks to this thread. I always thought it was only for KDE, and I’m more of a GNOME kinda guy. It’s great, and now I have it on all my devices!

Tried it, but it crashes when I choose the music folder.

I just went through this trying to transfer 23GB of music samples - tens of thousands of files in nested folders - to an Android phone to use with Koala Sampler. Tried USB, KDE Connect, Onedrive, all failed at some point, couldn’t handle merging, or some other problem. Syncthing was the answer and it was pretty quick too.

hunt4peas OP ,

Yup. It’s working fine right now (61% of 24GB has already transferred).

Do you mean an occasional one-off transfer or to keep synced constantly?

For one-off stuff, I’ve used Olive Tree FTP server for more than a decade on my android devices. It’s not always on, or a target for malicious stuff like a typical FTP server, you only run it when needed. I’m sending from a Win10 box, you didn’t mention how you are sending, but if it’s a desktop, nothing is easier than a quick FTP server instance.

Only buy phones with a MicroSD, all Android transfer nonsense will waste your time.
