Warpinator
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
I use syncthing for regular syncing of files and warpinator for single files.

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

Nah. Selfhosted Nextcloud is far more convenient for me.
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.
Take your phones hard drive out and add it as an external hard drive
Nokia N91 actually had a hard drive (like literally a spinning hard disc drive).
So the method is valid, albeit a bit easy.
There’s gigabit IrDA these days FYI, if you can find the adapters…
… 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)
Place phone on scanner and scan each screen
Oh, that’s a good one, high tech, no need for extra data conversion on the PC, works for transferring videos as well :D
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 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.
iPhone and Mac be like:
Device one: copy
Device two: paste
Right up until it doesn’t, for no reason you can ascertain.
Just, buy a new iPhone and Mac every two years.
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.
oooh that makes a lot more sense, thanks. I was confused too
