Use cases:
- I need some files on my phone, e.g. tickets in PDF format.
- I want some files from my phone on my desktop, e.g. downloads i want to keep long-term.
- I need to clean up files no longer needed. I prefer to do this on a desktop file manager.
Syncing a folder seems logical, but how exactly? I’m considering syncthing (local network suffices), foldersync with ssh on local network, or nextcloud (prefer wifi only).
For 1, i need to find that folder easily.
For 2, it should be obvious how to safe to the sync’ed folder from any app. Bonus points when there is an option to include the Downloads folder or share from Androis apps.
Ideally the sync will happen as aoon aa bith devices are on the home wifi.
Maybe it’s just cause I’m a bit more old school, but I simply plug my phone into my desktop for file transfers. It’s fast, allows access to any folder on the devices, and requires basically no setup. I did use syncthing for a bit, but it’s more convoluted compared to plug and copy. Especially if you’re only looking to sync at home, hardline transfers suit your needs quite well.
