The terms of use appear that they handle your data. If you wamt to avoid a thirdparty. i would suggest KDE connect, can combine with tailscale for cross network sends. Syncthing is also good. or Croc for single transfers either local or across networks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm still transferring stuff between my phone and computer using FTP, like some caveman.
@freamon
I started using SyncThing. Highly recommended.
@string_cat
Same. Plus, on local network, everything stay on the network.
I'm starting watch a movie on my PC, then move the movie file into a synced folder, na finish the movie 2" later on my phone.
At least you're not emailing yourself files.
Yep, except with http here (python3 -m uploadserver).
I had a script in termux that used exiftool to rename and organize photos and then rsync them to my backup. That was on an older phone. I need to do that again!
Me too.. using MTP for my phone to lap transfers.Nothing ever came fast as cable transfer.
I use KDE connect for that, it works pretty well. I don't use KDE so I'm probably missing out on some features but file transfer, sending clipboard contents, media control etc all work
