Back in the day I had to use CD-ROM to move files around

Nintendo DS wireless file transfer lol

Always have a tiny USB drive on my key chain. The digital space is so huge nowadays and they cost almost nothing.

Google Drive might be the single worst website I have ever used. Idk why, but Everytime I have to use it it takes forever to load, even though I almost exclusively have text documents saved, and the goddamn download button doesn't even work half the time.

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

Command line FTP is good enough for me.

Nah. Selfhosted Nextcloud is far more convenient for me.

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.

The amount of times sending myself an email is still the quickest thing is insane. Sure I could try to use notion or keep to send myself some random string of text but am I logged in on my desktop? Idk. Just use email.

Also there are so many things like air drop, nfc, etc, but so many of them are so specific to certain devices. Maybe one day we'll figure this out lol

Send via Bluetooth...

Termux, rsync and SSH.

Add a VPN and I can connect everywhere to my personal PC.

No one mentioned wormhole yet, so I'm gonna.

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

Run it locally yourself to make it even easier.

Not a single network file transfer protocol in the list.

Imagine not knowing about stuff like SCP/SFTP or SMB.

if it's an image or something small i just send it to myself on discord

LocalSend does it best

I've never once in 10 years had any difficulty using one drive or drive.

Syncthing is amazing though.

Or just use a USB cable.

I just email myself

ADB via USB for speed, rsync via WiFi for everything else

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.

I know there are other solutions but I almost always email the file to myself /shrug
