Syncthing ftw. As soon as I plug my phone into a charger, it starts syncing everything to my NAS. Even if it’s not charging, I can override the rule and force it to sync.

I used localsend on desktop, laptop and my phones to sync stuffs between OSes and phones. What I likes is that it support multiplatform out of the box and works flawlessly between Windows, Android and Linux distros (tried both on Ubuntu, and LM without problem). It’s just SHAREit without any stupid weird stuffs on it.
This is the shit
if it’s an image or something small i just send it to myself on discord
That can work for most things, but if it’s something like a photo, you have to put up with compression
yea i’m aware, i rarely need full resolution photos on my phone. And if i do i send myself a wetransfer link on discord
I knew a guy whose “password manager” was a discord server with only himself in it. He would just send username-password combinations as plaintext messages, and look back through the chat history when he needed to log in somewhere.
👁👄👁 man trusts his one discord password, himself, and discord’s security way too much
Man wetransfer used to be dope before they enshittified it
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
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.
Localsend!
I just access one of my many network shares with Root Explorer.
Seafile. It’s already on my phone when I want it there.
Wireless file transfers over the LAN. I ain’t got time to find my damn thumb drives.
Long live netcat
There is a little “most advanced transfer solutions” in your Spyware
I just put it on an SD card and pop it in my phone.
Self-Hosted Pairdrop is perfection for me
Depends on your workflow. I’m usually in google drive anyways. And the file is usually there anyways. So it’s just a few clicks away.
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
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.
