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

    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.

    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.

        Nokia N91 actually had a hard drive (like literally a spinning hard disc drive).

        So the method is valid, albeit a bit easy.

        … 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)

        Oh, that’s a good one, high tech, no need for extra data conversion on the PC, works for transferring videos as well :D

    never underestimate the data transfer speed of a truckload of hard drives

    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… 🤔

    Synching 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.

      Nextcloud “Carnet” is the solution I had been waiting for for years. Instant uploads to my instance, I can access the files from any computer. Boom.

        Only because IPv6 and self-hosting are not mainstream yet. But if it were commonplace for everyone’s home to have something as simple as a public file server or SSH server, then this problem would be trivialized.

          Opera tried to make self-hosting mainstream back in 2009 with Opera Unite, but regular people just weren’t interested. It was a web server built in to the browser, which had a few apps like a whiteboard, a way to write notes, file transfers, etc.

          Also, IPv6 is already mainstream in some countries. In the USA, several of the mobile networks are IPv6-only, using 464XLAT to allow connections to legacy IPv4-only servers. Comcast/Xfinity was also the first ISP to roll out IPv6 at a wide scale, and the majority of their customers had IPv6 connectivity way back in 2014 or so.

          Globally, around 50% of traffic to Google and 60% of traffic to Facebook are using IPv6.

          For sure, let me just make an account, install the app, find and add them- wait, he drove over with a USB? Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendation, but it’s not any simpler than the 2011 solutions if you haven’t set it up already.

        I have a USB c multi adapter somewhere. Had SD, micro SD, USB a to put a mouse on a phone or a regular flash drive. It was nifty until I lost it. A lot of modern mobos come with a USB c port so it’s almost a universal tool.
