Syncthing is amazing though.

[–] renzev 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

It's pretty good. Definitely better then self-hosted stuff like nextcloud, because you don't need to maintain your own server. But sometimes it takes a while for two hosts to discover each other on the same local area network.

[–] untorquer 9 points 3 months ago

I've never noticed any delay after first discovery. But i only use 3 devices so 🤷

The amount of times sending myself an email is still the quickest thing is insane. Sure I could try to use notion or keep to send myself some random string of text but am I logged in on my desktop? Idk. Just use email.

Also there are so many things like air drop, nfc, etc, but so many of them are so specific to certain devices. Maybe one day we'll figure this out lol

For phone-to-computer it works fine. But double-sided boi will still win if you need to send files to a dumber device like a printer -- those don't typically support MTP or whatever iphones use. Unless you have an ancient android phone that gives full block-level access to the internal storage/microsd card through usb cable lol. I really miss that feature.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just add the printer on my phone and print over the network

[–] saltesc 9 points 3 months ago (15 children)

So many people on here always talking about printing stuff in 2024. Is everyone a lawyer?

Yeah, double sided boi looks like a great way to ruin your phone charging port if you don't have a usb slot pointing straight up

[–] Tangent5280 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dont think you're supposed to connect to both devices at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, it's a USB stick. I thought it worked like a cable.

Cable with a really big delay but a REALLY big buffer

Can you not just plug your phone into your computer, and then use your computer's file manager to drag it from your phone to your computer? It's this not a thing anymore?

Why the extra step of writing it to thumb drive?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (3 children)

These are the people who take screenshots with their phone cameras.

OP is just revealing that they don't understand device-to-device file transfers.

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.

https://github.com/localsend/localsend

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I don't even need a double-sided boi because my dumb ass got lucky enough to pick a cheapo laptop with a USB-C port. The little sandisk drive is probably one my best investments into the phone besides the case.

KDE Connect or Nextcloud. My phone has USB 2, but I can easily top 1 Gbit/s over wifi.

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

One thing that really got me while working on computers and networking right as LAN networks became a thing in the late 90s and early 2K years was.... I'm connected to this switch, and so are they. Why do I need to burn a CD/use an external hard drive (later a flash drive), to move data?

Took me a while to figure out SMB/cifs, and when I did .... Game changer. Since then I've also learned all I can about storage, networking and file sharing. Most of my USB drives sit on my desk and don't get touched. I couldn't tell you what's on most of them. I've picked up a few thinking that I'll use it, but the most useful thing I've done with flash drives is to move data between computers when upgrading other people's computers. For me, I just make sure everything is backed up/synced to my local NAS, wipe the system and reinstall without a care in the world.

or just plug the phone into the computer?
and use either adb pull or mtp (adb is more reliable from my experience)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

its amazing how its generally easier to transfer something to a server a country over for it to then reach the other device. instead of it going directly over local network speeds.

also how its much easier to backup to google than to you own computer thats right there.

KDE Connect and Syncthing do the trick for most stuff. For all else, all hail the USB C M.2 NVME enclosure.

[–] n1ck_n4m3 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

In Android just selectively enable wireless ADB debugging and then use ADB Explorer. Easier than plugging the phone in, wireless, and allows access to all folders on the device (including /Android/data/* which is blocked from being accessed using on-device file explorers). Turn it off when you're done. Boom, wireless data transfer to and from an Android device at way faster than cabled SMB speeds.

Not a single network file transfer protocol in the list.

Imagine not knowing about stuff like SCP/SFTP or SMB.
