I use localsend. Can send between my Android, iPhone, and Desktop easily. I also have a “Copy Paste” telegram group. When I send something to the group, it appears on all my devices. I kind of like this because I have a history of all my links, pics, files, etc and I can just do a search if I ever need to go back and find something. Also, Photosunc is like $6 a year and anytime I take a pic it auto backs it up to my desktop server via SMB.
You can use a flash drive now with thunderbolt to usb-c converter I believe.
I don’t use any apple services except for iMessage, Facetime, and Apple Pay (to accept payments). So no iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Care, etc. None of that garbage.
I carry both. I’ve been doing it so long that when I have one and not the other, I feel naked. 2 phones and my Keys, everywhere I go… except the gym. I only bring my iPhone then.
Sure no problem. You may be used to reddit. People are a bit nicer over here :)
