Sharing files from Android to any computer is a pain.
How so? On Windows and Linux I just plug it in and it shows up in my file browser. Mac is the only one that is difficult.
Sharing files from an iPhone to a computer on the other hand...
- feet 4y agoThis has also been my experience. I have literally never had problems moving files between my phone and computer with both Linux and windows. The only OS I don't use is MacOS/iOS
- fragmede 4y agoOn that hand, if the computer is running MacOS it's easy, just use Airdrop. Vendor lock-in has its upsides!
- cantSpellSober 4y agoThat's incredibly slow compared to usb
- fragmede 4y agofair point. what is your lifestyle like that you're regularly hitting that difference though? what phone data generator am I missing out on?
- brokenmachine 4y agoIt's called a camera. It takes 4k videos.
- thiht 4y agoAirdrop is great. But most of the times you don’t even need to transfer anything from iOS to Mac, the files are already there, thanks to iCloud. A few years ago I would have hated this because of vendor lock in. As a user, this is just sooo convenient and easy.
- hulitu 4y agoAnd when the internet connectivity is gone, your files are also gone.
- notRobot 4y agoThe MTP protocol is terrible for transferring a large number of big files (hangs and crashes a lot), and there's no way to reliably resume interrupted transfers.
