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.

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.

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

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

Prunebutt ,

No one mentioned wormhole yet, so I’m gonna.

9point6 ,

I feel a bit like a bit of a fossil here, but why not drop the file into a network file share and grab it from there on your phone? No physical item required

MudMan ,

Cx Expolorer on Android can access network shares and Samba shares like a desktop OS. It really isn't a particularly outdated option, it's so much less fiddly than direct drive access from a PC and it effectively works just like a USB stick, interface-wise, without having to do the whole "where did I put my thumbdrive" dance each time.

merari42 ,

Seafile. It’s already on my phone when I want it there.

Foni ,

never underestimate the data transfer speed of a truckload of hard drives
