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 month 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.

oooh that makes a lot more sense, thanks. I was confused too

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

Mtp is so unstable in my experience that I try to use anything else available

There is a little “most advanced transfer solutions” in your Spyware

Send via Bluetooth…

Run it locally yourself to make it even easier.

I use WebDAV because my phones use that for all services which keeps everything on my own servers. Contacts, calendar, files, etc. Both Android and iPhone can be set up this way.

Command line FTP is good enough for me.
GTG3000@programming.dev 1 month 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 month ago
I need a USBC floppy drive now. “Hey, can I get that pic you took?”
“Sure! Its on these 4 floppies!”

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 month ago
I use FX too. 0 problems.
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 month ago
I just put it on an SD card and pop it in my phone.

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

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

Yeah I email myself for work stuff since we aren’t supposed to plug in our phones to our work computers.
