Hey /g/, what's the best program for getting files from my phone to my computer and vice versa? Preferably free.

drag and drop

If the files are small enough, just email them. Otherwise, use your usb cable to move the files directly, or an SD card or other compatible removable media.

Drive and dropbox are awful. There's no way to conveniently and non-botnetly transfer files from phone to computer, so you have to use

If I just want to sent a picture to my mobile/pc (and when the quality doesn't matter) then I sent it to myself with WhatsApp. That's really fast. Otherwise, Dropbox works better for me than other programs like Airdrop. These things work just fine for me, but everybody has their opinion on it.
>>
My setup isn't great but it's faster than using a cloud service if you have slow internet.
>Old android phone on same network
>Use an FTP server app
In other words just set up an FTP server.

es file explorer
its a botnet
but a damn useful botnet

NAS exists for a reason.

pretty much any secure shell server has SFTP built in now.

use your imagination, cunt.

also rsync too.

SHAREit works great. Even if it's made by Lenovo, it still works in most computers.

micro USB cable.

I just have my own ftp server. I guess you could do a syncthing server if you wanted everything to sync automatically like dropbox.

one drive

syncthing maybe

>>51249902

Dropbox.

I'm actually pretty happy with it:
>automatically copies my camera pictures and videos every time I'm on my home network
>easily share ebooks between devices, open them in Adobe Reader from the Dropbox app (more for my tablet than phone)

For everything else, I use ES File Explorer.
