Localsend!
if it’s an image or something small i just send it to myself 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
That can work for most things, but if it’s something like a photo, you have to put up with compression
I usually just plug my phone directly into the pc and copy the file directly
me too. the double sided thing looks awkward.
there’s also localsend if you prefer over wifi for any reason
Someone pointed out it’s actually a usb stick with two different ends, which sounds pretty neat. I also thought it was like a cable without the actual cable part so your phone would just be dangling there awkwardly
oh that makes more sense, yeah it looks like an adapter which feels terrible to use. but also if you need a quick transfer, doing it over a cable or wifi is still better since you only copy once that way.
The USB Type-C is useful for sharing files offline between smartphones while the USB Type-A is useful when you want to backup files to a PC at some point.
This is the shit
I use KDE connect…
But my grandfather does the ol reliable method for image upload, which is:
- emails it to himself
- prints the email off
- scans the printout into his computer again
- uploads image to
faceboomFacebook
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
scans the printout into his computer again
Your grandpa got the memo that *inhales* IT NEEDS MORE JPEG! And took it one step further.
Solid explorer FTP plugin has always worked fine for me.
Back in the day I had to use CD-ROM to move files around
FX File Explorer + local servers = check and mate. If I need access to it immediately from a machine, put it on my /home/drive/desktop folder and it will sync to my computers in a few seconds, via synology drive. This also works over the internet, so I can move the files at home, leave, and power up my laptop to see them available, seamlessly.
I have a second server running Debian that does the first half, but not the syncing part. It’s more for docker stuff, not personal files.
I’m disabled too, so the less I have to physically move around, the better. Having a server to just dump stuff on and access from anywhere is amazing.
Ha, Debian? More like Plebian /j
Run a ssh server on the phone and
rsyncstuff over.old iphone: hey guise
For Shure my 1pb school nextdrive…
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.
SMB/NFS
honestly though the cloud ones are so bad, their ui is so slow, bloated and clunky, and they take ages to transfer files with
I use syncthing for regular syncing of files and warpinator for single files.
