With USB cable? Because outside of that it gets complicated and/or vendor-specific quickly.
That's what KDEconnect is for. Oddly enough I think it even works in windows nowadays.
I wish I could downvote you more.
"Regular people having trouble with file management? Why don't they just use this obscure, unintuitive program that they clearly won't know how to use!"
"Share to "
Oh no, so unintuitive!
There's a moment at which people have to accept that they just cannot use some things. Either they're willing to learn how to use them, or they do without. It's quite simple.
With usb cable most of people doesn’t even know where to start. They have no idea of where the document is saved. Plugging the phone to the computer doesn’t show a “recent files” list but the whole directory hierarchy. Maybe they even used some proprietary note taking app that doesn’t create a file and they don’t realize that
Bluetooth file sharing has worked for me on every device I own. Not sure if it works on Apple devices, but it probably does.
Sure, but they own their devices. They should know it. It's a pretty regular thing to do, since most classes in my university use Canvas.
Also, many of them had both devices from Apple. I may dislike Apple, but Airdrop should work pretty well for this.
You'd be correct on that Airdrop assumption. I get most of Lemmy reflexively hates Apple, but Airdrop between two Apple devices you own is about as braindead simple as it's possible to be.
If you have the luck that Android prompts you if you want to enable file transfer or just charge your device.
If i remember right, it's long-press on the notification, no? Currently on toilet, can't check.
Afaik last time I connected my phone via USB I needed to pull down zhe notifications and there was a silent option offered to switch the type of USB connections.
