Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh. > don't understand not more people want to access their DCIM folder via sshfs I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop. 1: https://termux.dev/ https://termux.dev/ 2 https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/

I can also recommend the Apple ecosystem. My phone and MacBook keep, messages (and sms), contacts, calendar, clipboard and also photos in sync.

  Why not just recommend nextcloud. You can host it yourself and it backs up and syncs your photos, calendar, contacts, and other files automatically And you get to own your data instead of relying on Apple

    Yeah I use NextCloud. It syncs contacts, calendars, tasks, notes, news, podcasts, recipes(!), photos, and any arbitrary files. If you don't want to self host, just get a Hetzner storage share for $4/mo or whatever it is.

  I disliked iOS for specifically being absurd about photos. They are not considered "files" and therefore cannot be synced by Mobius / Syncthing. I don't want to go through the hassle of hosting Nextcloud to get photos from my phone to my laptop when both are located on the same network. (Not really relevant anymore since I don't own any Apple devices)

    This app is what you want. It can push the photos to NFS or Samba over the network. https://www.photosync-app.com/ https://www.photosync-app.com/ Maybe it will help someone who still uses an iPhone.

      Why that one specifically? Doesn't say anything about free or open source. I use this one. https://immich.app/ https://immich.app/

        Not your parent poster, but I appreciated that Photosync was a one time purchase, and developed by a German company. Worth it to have a solid backup tool that can push to a Samba share.

        I am already using an iPhone, so those things do not typically enter my calculus for selecting apps. I don't like it, but the alternative is using Android, so it's the tradeoff I am making. I know that isn't a very good answer.

  Considering this is a post by and for Free Software enthusiasts, I don't think they would.

  I would definitely not recommend that ecosystem as you can't even plug it into a computer and take things out of it / put things in.

    I can access my photos by plugging my iPhone into my Linux or Windows PC.
