That only works if the target is near. You may as well have said semaphore or signal fire.

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.

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.

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

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

Bluetooth
dan@upvote.au 3 months ago
I think Bluetooth is only around 2Mbps. For a lot of people (at least in developed countries) it’d even be quicker to upload the file somewhere then download it on the other device.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Pretty slow for a big file.

Quicker than using your zune to squirt a song over IR

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.
redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Quick share works on all phones now. Google’s nearby share was renamed to quick share. And there’s also a windows client now

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

Where SD card?
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
Most of the newest phones can’t take SD cards anymore.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 months ago
One of many reasons I haven’t replaced mine.

One double sided USB SD card reader with adapter for multiple cards sizes
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I have a USB c multi adapter somewhere. Had SD, micro SD, USB a to put a mouse on a phone or a regular flash drive. It was nifty until I lost it. A lot of modern mobos come with a USB c port so it’s almost a universal tool.

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

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.

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

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 a USB cable with file transfer. I also do phone file management like this because it’s easier

rsyncorscp, depending on mood. If there’s a non-*nix host involved, maybe SMB or NFS but that’s on the device owner.fffact@lemmy.world 3 months ago
