I'm surprised no action was taken against WPS Office until now.
I'm surprised AirDroid wasn't on this list though. It gives the government of China full remote access to millions of Android devices, including many in sensitive corporate environments.
- TeMPOraL 6y ago> AirDroid What? Thanks for mentioning that. I've been using it for years (albeit in LAN-only mode, I don't like clouds). Need to re-evaluate it now (not that I trust China's gov particularly less than US gov at this point, but I prefer apps that don't give any governments obvious remote access capability). Do you know of any good alternatives for hassle-free WiFi file transfer?
- someperson 6y agoI don't know if it's "hassle-free" but adb over Wi-Fi has worked well in my experiences. I tend to use adb over USB for file transfer. Both use command-line utilities so not suitable for all end-users.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoI'll try that, though it's not perfect for me. I'm fine with CLI, but my use case for AirDroid is usually dropping some photos from my phone into someone else's computer, while we're on the same network. Come to think of it, maybe I could just spin up a HTTP server on the phone with Termux, and serve the DCIM directory. And then wrap it into a homescreen icon via Tasker.
