    Can’t you just plug your phone straight in and transfer the file? I still prefer KDE connect though.

      KDE connect only works painlessly on phones that allow you to use your files… As weird as it is, that’s not most of them.

      But you can still move them around somehow and force it to work. Also, the same works for syncthing. USB drivers haven’t been the easiest option for a while.

    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

    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.

    IR data connection.

    Print out on paper & scan it into the computer.

    Copy the data into the computer in binary with an electron gun directly to SSD.

    Recreate the data from scratch.

    Install desktop os onto your phone & use it as your main rig to eliminate the need to transfer data in the first place.

    Use an USB cable to connect the phone to a floppy drive & copy the data to floppy discs. And enjoy the asmr sounds as you do so.

    Bluetooth if all else fails, but using a2dp dial-up frequencies.

    Accept that there is no convenient way to transfer data & just live without it.

        Oh, that’s a good one, high tech, no need for extra data conversion on the PC, works for transferring videos as well :D

        … oh, TIL.

        Outside of regular simple-command remotes I only ever used IR data transfer between my PC and Nokia 3650 (bcs the proprietary connector had shitty contacts).

        And it was slower than any of other methods previously listed.
        (I don’t actually remember, but less than 100kbps I think, about half the theoretical max iirc, some of which was the phone and the memory cards fault too)

    I use KDE connect…

    But my grandfather does the ol reliable method for image upload, which is:

    1. emails it to himself
    2. prints the email off
    3. scans the printout into his computer again
    4. uploads image to faceboom Facebook

    I typo’d Facebook originally but thay was too good to get rid of so I just strikethrough’d it

      Sounds eerily similar to what my mom does to save receipts, minus the facebook part

      Your grandpa got the memo that *inhales* IT NEEDS MORE JPEG! And took it one step further.

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

    I made a dump folder on sync thing. When I want to share a file or 12, move it the dump folder and presto - the files are moved.

    But yes, a USB drive is still very good for transfer, especially lots of files to other people.

    I usually just use Bluetooth cuz I’m only transferring an image or two over. But if it’s something big, I just use USB transfer because when the phone is plugged into the computer, it appears as an external drive.

    Using this double sided boy seems like it would be putting a lot of weight on the USB port… 🤔

      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.
