I know there are other solutions but I almost always email the file to myself /shrug

JASN_DE ,

Nah. Selfhosted Nextcloud is far more convenient for me.

Syncthing if I have to sync regularly, KDE connect from phone to PC and magic-wormhole if I want to send something to a friend.

FX File Explorer + local servers = check and mate. If I need access to it immediately from a machine, put it on my /home/drive/desktop folder and it will sync to my computers in a few seconds, via synology drive. This also works over the internet, so I can move the files at home, leave, and power up my laptop to see them available, seamlessly.

I have a second server running Debian that does the first half, but not the syncing part. It’s more for docker stuff, not personal files.

I’m disabled too, so the less I have to physically move around, the better. Having a server to just dump stuff on and access from anywhere is amazing.

Ha, Debian? More like Plebian /j

I use syncthing for regular syncing of files and warpinator for single files.

Google Drive might be the single worst website I have ever used. Idk why, but Everytime I have to use it it takes forever to load, even though I almost exclusively have text documents saved, and the goddamn download button doesn’t even work half the time.

renzev OP ,

Whenever I have to use a cloud storage service for anything, I just add it to rclone. Solves the buggy UI problem pretty well! Dropbox/google drive subscriptions are a total scam, you can just create a new free account when your old one fills up /hj.

I’ve never once in 10 years had any difficulty using one drive or drive.

renzev OP ,

Congrats!

Termux, rsync and SSH.

Add a VPN and I can connect everywhere to my personal PC.

Jumuta ,

honestly though the cloud ones are so bad, their ui is so slow, bloated and clunky, and they take ages to transfer files with

renzev OP ,

My experience with owncloud/nextcloud tbh. Same buggy sluggishness of cloud storage services, but hey, at least it’s selfhosted!

aeronmelon ,

I pick one device-to-device option and it won’t load.

I pick another and it transfers at the speed of EDGE.

I end up just emailing the file to myself because my email is synced across all devices and it takes two minutes.

shneancy ,

if it’s an image or something small i just send it to myself on discord

@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

That can work for most things, but if it’s something like a photo, you have to put up with compression

shneancy ,

yea i’m aware, i rarely need full resolution photos on my phone. And if i do i send myself a wetransfer link on discord

renzev OP ,

I knew a guy whose “password manager” was a discord server with only himself in it. He would just send username-password combinations as plaintext messages, and look back through the chat history when he needed to log in somewhere.

shneancy ,

👁👄👁 man trusts his one discord password, himself, and discord’s security way too much

ADB via USB for speed, rsync via WiFi for everything else

renzev OP ,

Is ADB faster than MTP (the thing that android does by default when connecting over USB)?

QRCP is also pretty neat. It boots up a local http server to send/receive files and shows a QR code pointing to it. Works on android via termux as well!

HakFoo ,

MTP is awfully slow on my Nokia G20 at least. OTOH, it has a uSD slot so I could just pop it out and transfer that way.

$150 phones are better than $1500 ones.

renzev OP ,

$150 phones are better than $1500 ones.

Couldn’t agree more lol. fLaGsHiP phones are such a scam. I got my current phone for like 300 euro: It’s built like a tank, has a headphone jack, a microsd slot, unlockable bootloader, no camera bump, and if the usb port becomes damaged, I can just order a new one from the manufacturer and replace it using a single screwdriver. Meanwhile mainstream phones focus on bullshit gimmicks that nobody cares about like 5g, more cameras, glass back, “AI”, thinness to inflate the price tag.

Lojcs ,

Mtp is so unstable in my experience that I try to use anything else available

Syncthing is amazing though.

renzev OP ,

It’s pretty good. Definitely better then self-hosted stuff like nextcloud, because you don’t need to maintain your own server. But sometimes it takes a while for two hosts to discover each other on the same local area network.

untorquer ,

I’ve never noticed any delay after first discovery. But i only use 3 devices so 🤷
