I just email myself

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

From my experience, a USB cable is the easiest to find/use.

Mtp is so unstable in my experience that I try to use anything else available

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

Send via Bluetooth...

rsync

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've been using floppy disks. You mean there are other options now?

I use the Signal "Note to self" contact for smaller files, or SMB if i have to transfer large amounts - no usb-sticks needed.

for other people i normally upload either to https://send.vis.ee if it's a one time thing, to https://catbox.moe if i suspect that i have to share it more often over time or https://litterbox.catbox.moe/ for 3 day availability.

There is a little "most advanced transfer solutions" in your Spyware

www.snapdrop.net

Run it locally yourself to make it even easier.

Command line FTP is good enough for me.

I use WebDAV because my phones use that for all services which keeps everything on my own servers. Contacts, calendar, files, etc. Both Android and iPhone can be set up this way.

Local send.

You're welcome

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.

Attach it to a draft email. Log in on the other thing, go to drafts, download your file, delete draft.

Termux, rsync and SSH.

Add a VPN and I can connect everywhere to my personal PC.

Is FX bad now? Been using it for nearly a decade and it works great for me.

Sftp

My charger cable that's all I want.
