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

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

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.

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

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 It really isn't a particularly outdated option, it's so much less fiddly than direct drive access from a PC and it effectively works just like a USB stick, interface-wise, without having to do the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.

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

ArcaneGadget ,

Send via Bluetooth…

sad iPhone noises

KoalaUnknown ,

Send via Airdrop…

DJDarren ,

I mean, yeah, but only to other Applethings.

Run it locally yourself to make it even easier.

QuickDAV

Super easy. Move entire folders. Free and open source.

Also, what’s a figther?

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!

steersman2484 ,

I use a private room in my Matrix instance

uzay ,

LocalSend does it best

hungover_pilot ,

Localsend!

mvirts ,

Kde connect all day erry day

Jumuta ,

kde connect and syncthing both just work, and it’s amazing

Duamerthrax ,

I haven’t been able to get Syncthing permissions to work. The frustrating thing for me with Android has always been inconsistencies between vendors and weird permissions issues.

ogeist ,

Localsend is also a thing

ChilledPeppers ,

Came here to say this

TheFonz ,

It times out for me every time. After ten or so files just gives up.

OfficerBribe ,

It is alright, but SFTP transfer broke for me some time ago. I think it is related to changes in Android, but surprisingly there were not a lot of posts about this issue last I searched. Using Android 13 / Samsung One UI 5.1 with Windows 11.

Ghoelian ,

I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.

AceSLS ,

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.
