Quickly transferring files between PC and phone
-
Oh good to know.
It used to be awful but I'm glad to hear it's improving.

I use ADBFileManager https://github.com/T0biasCZe/AdbFileManager/ which is much faster than MTP
In my testing, the program copies files at speed of approximately 41.6MiB/s (332Mib/s) over USB 2.0, compared to MTP that copies at around 10Mb/s

I ll just hijack this thread : when plugging my android into laptop, the laptop doesn't recognise it as anything. And the phone doesn't give me the option to "share files" instead of just charge. Does anyone knows what's wrong?
-
Check if your cable has data lanes, some cables don't have them and can only be used for charging. Tap the charging notification and check if you can change it to file transfer.

Open source file manager Material Files lets you set an SSH server as a bookmark and mount it instantly. Moving files around just like like it's native. Works seamlessly through Tailscale.

Had the same issue before, cable was the cause.

Do you have any hosting in your home lab? Preferably something for running a docker container, but a hypervisor could do the job too.
Nextcloud is an option if you do. Technically speaking you could properly protect it and make it public. You don't have to do that though. Any file you upload on your computer could be copied to your phone or vice versa. If it's public, then this could be done from anywhere.
-
Yes, I have a Linux vm for docker. I've chucked up a pairdrop container. So easy.
-
Can't say I've used that... Yet. I like nextcloud because besides being compatible with Linux/Windows and having an Android app, it also has a simple web UI to access the files. It's probably closer to self hosted OneDrive than anything else I can think of.
-
Hey wormhole is closed source? Wow I didn't knew that.
-
Is it safe though?
-
There are two, the original open source version and its forks, and then the closed source version.
-
Safe as in encrypted and/or authenticated? Not at all! I only do this on networks I fully trust and with files that are not too sensitive. But it's quick and easy to set up. All my machines have python installed so hence the idea.
