Always have a tiny USB drive on my key chain. The digital space is so huge nowadays and they cost almost nothing.

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.

I usually just use Bluetooth cuz I’m only transferring an image or two over.
AscendantSquid@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I think it’s a flash drive; you plug it into your phone, load files onto it, unplug it then plug it into the computer.
0laura@lemmy.world 1 year ago
oooh that makes a lot more sense, thanks. I was confused too

From my experience, a USB cable is the easiest to find/use.

From my experience,
aone USB cable boi is the easiest to find/use.

Mtp is so unstable in my experience that I try to use anything else available
Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There is a little “most advanced transfer solutions” in your Spyware
ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Send via Bluetooth…

Run it locally yourself to make it even easier.

Command line FTP is good enough for me.
GTG3000@programming.dev 1 year ago
I used to use FTP for file transfer, nowadays I just start up a HTTPS server on the source machine and grab stuff from there.

I’ve been using floppy disks. You mean there are other options now?
Facebones@reddthat.com 1 year ago
I need a USBC floppy drive now. “Hey, can I get that pic you took?”
“Sure! Its on these 4 floppies!”
callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Attach it to a draft email. Log in on the other thing, go to drafts, download your file, delete draft.

Is FX bad now? Been using it for nearly a decade and it works great for me.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 year ago
I use FX too. 0 problems.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have a file manager named FX on my android (costef just a couple of euros), is thatwhat you ate talking about?
SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep, been using the pro version for a long time.

Termux, rsync and SSH.
Add a VPN and I can connect everywhere to my personal PC.

Termux, rsync and SSH.
Worked okay until I got overzealous and killed my battery from leaving Termux on for convenience.
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
9point6@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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@fedia.io 1 year ago
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.

ADB via USB for speed, rsync via WiFi for everything else
renzev@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
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.
AceSLS@ani.social 1 year ago
Is ADB faster than MTP
Yes, at least for every device I had in the past 6 years. By a lot actually
Eww@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I just put it on an SD card and pop it in my phone.

Solid explorer FTP plugin has always worked fine for me.

iPhone and Mac be like:
Device one: copy
Device two: paste
DJDarren@thelemmy.club 1 year ago
Right up until it doesn’t, for no reason you can ascertain.
baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Just, buy a new iPhone and Mac every two years.

I use syncthing for regular syncing of files and warpinator for single files.
EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I used to go to a trade school where we were learning very basic app development
This was such a good tool to test it on my phone
Trilobite@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I just email myself
variants@possumpat.io 1 year ago
Yeah I email myself for work stuff since we aren’t supposed to plug in our phones to our work computers.

Is there a file size limit?
