Can you not just plug your phone into your computer, and then use your computer’s file manager to drag it from your phone to your computer? It’s this not a thing anymore?

Why the extra step of writing it to thumb drive?

These are the people who take screenshots with their phone cameras.

OP is just revealing that they don’t understand device-to-device file transfers.

Nah. Selfhosted Nextcloud is far more convenient for me.

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.

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.

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!

todd_bonzalez ,

Not a single network file transfer protocol in the list.

Imagine not knowing about stuff like SCP/SFTP or SMB.

helpImTrappedOnline ,

I made a dump folder on sync thing. When I want to share a file or 12, move it the dump folder and presto - the files are moved.

But yes, a USB drive is still very good for transfer, especially lots of files to other people.
