The amount of times sending myself an email is still the quickest thing is insane. Sure I could try to use notion or keep to send myself some random string of text but am I logged in on my desktop? Idk. Just use email.

Also there are so many things like air drop, nfc, etc, but so many of them are so specific to certain devices. Maybe one day we’ll figure this out lol

Glad I’m not the only one! I am extra old and use my Hotmail too…

Hate on Google and Microsoft all you want but their cloud services are pretty convenient.

KDE Connect and Syncthing do the trick for most stuff. For all else, all hail the USB C M.2 NVME enclosure.

My charger cable that’s all I want.

you joke, but I’ve got my most recent salvo of audio books sitting in a double sided flash drive on my desk, right now

The one thing Apple did right. AirDrop is nice, and I wish PairDrop worked for Bluetooth aswell.

I mean, we already have Nearby Share/Quickshare on Samsung, but it is still kind of finnicky.

Can’t you just plug your phone straight in and transfer the file? I still prefer KDE connect though.

I use the Signal “Note to self” contact for smaller files, or SMB if i have to transfer large amounts - no usb-sticks needed.

for other people i normally upload either to send.vis.ee if it’s a one time thing, to catbox.moe if i suspect that i have to share it more often over time or litterbox.catbox.moe for 3 day availability.

In Android just selectively enable wireless ADB debugging and then use ADB Explorer. Easier than plugging the phone in, wireless, and allows access to all folders on the device (including /Android/data/* which is blocked from being accessed using on-device file explorers). Turn it off when you’re done. Boom, wireless data transfer to and from an Android device at way faster than cabled SMB speeds.

Back in the day I had to use CD-ROM to move files around

One thing that really got me while working on computers and networking right as LAN networks became a thing in the late 90s and early 2K years was… I’m connected to this switch, and so are they. Why do I need to burn a CD/use an external hard drive (later a flash drive), to move data?

Took me a while to figure out SMB/cifs, and when I did … Game changer. Since then I’ve also learned all I can about storage, networking and file sharing. Most of my USB drives sit on my desk and don’t get touched. I couldn’t tell you what’s on most of them. I’ve picked up a few thinking that I’ll use it, but the most useful thing I’ve done with flash drives is to move data between computers when upgrading other people’s computers. For me, I just make sure everything is backed up/synced to my local NAS, wipe the system and reinstall without a care in the world.
