Why is copying files from Android to PC so hard?
This used to be easy: connect by USB, and access your phone from the PC as USB storage. Now they've got a fancy MTP protocol that is very advanced at not making it work.
Bluetooth? Doesn't work. Some of my devices can connect over bluetooth, but not my phone and PC.
KDE Connect? Should make it really easy, but despite them knowing each other by IP, it doesn't work. They both claim the other isn't there.
You know what worked? Sticking a USB stick in my Fritz Box, using my phone's Fritz Box app to share photos to the USB stick, and then sticking the USB stick in the PC. That worked, almost reliably (it missed 2 files on the first try).
It's not just a linux issue, sharing to my son's Windows PC was at least as bad. (He's suddenly eager to upgrade to Steam OS, by the way.)
