Local Send is all you need.
I second this.
Tried to export my iPhone’s gallery yesterday but I just couldn’t for the life of me get all the media exported be it using Windows or Linux.
The only method that worked was just transferring using LocalSend (took 4 hours)
Apple is holding your photos hostage.
Good options. Croc is also useful for remote send to a random person. Pick your target file, it generates a three word code for the relay, end receiver types in three word code, the relay matches you up for a peer to peer transmission.
Out of the options they provided, I haven’t used packet or gsconnect, but the others I have had many problems with. I’m convinced my ISP absolutely hates these programs because I’ve pretty much never had any luck with using them to send stuff to and from my phone.
Hell, I consider it a miracle that I can even connect my laptop and desktop using Synchthing. Though that’s the one I have had the most success with in the past, so I’m not that surprised.
I suspect you may need to allow local ports on your machine for some of these to function as expected.
Probably. I’m not an expert in this type of stuff, but I’ll definitely look into that.
Don’t know about the others, but KDE connect has absolutely nothing to do with your ISP. It’s using WiFi for wlan, not to connect to the internet.
