Did your daughter use to own an iPhone? I ask, because cabling your android to any computer is virtually unheard of, but its an old Apple requirement. Even if you do cable it, it often ends up being an MTP connection only.
Why then have I always used a cable? And my attempts to use anything else have always been a bit of a disaster ...
Any of a half dozen file managers (most free from the app store) can allow this access via wifi, using ssh, sftp, samba, as well as Google drive, dropbox one drive Yandex, owncloud etc. Enough to access just about any computer local or remote.
Cloud storage :-( NO THANKS! I was shocked (and upset) to discover that Google had uploaded (and deleted from local storage!!!) all the photos on my phone! Oh - and it's pretty clear that when I downloaded them back from Google Photos, they had been modified!!! One thing I do NOT do with my photos is modify the originals!!!
Solid Explorer sounded great ... until I took a look :-( What I want is easy file transfer - and having to do it all on a small touchscreen sounds like a nightmare. I like my connections to be bi-directional, and when downloading from my phone I always work with a big screen and a keyboard and mouse.
Cheers, Wol
Nextcloud is pretty slick; you can set up their (free) app to automatically sync various folders from your phone to your server over wifi. I had it do that with my pictures and videos every night when I'd plug it in to charge. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEE7GM/Dul8WSWn72odQ1nEo4DFCIUFAlpP8ygACgkQQ1nEo4DF CIX+KAgAmKXecH91lt5B6DVV07l/enR6WjgmbW0052fmDeodfbLRE10UsPpAcFxZ gEloEhc/Bn4t7hpsLdE1I1bDv8pZTYIYx/wPqTg/6OPO2l8NEW29Cr8EzlmlOJtO WuqCiIx1/gK28D61BLKyUvAS+6AWZp4CmdDoyzGzuhQD8vCyxOGQDpqb9KFHFZ5T ehGGA2DdYTNA3PB7siJaEfon1VlN1fGPsEgA455OK5SEs2xTgsIutDce27u3C2GW DTqYtnTVMFacEDs6VqjJGcVHtzvs2no/uFztng96IZD+buXuoH36Im4kyKrItk4W y2FhN7oGIKPLJWkZwSRhf/CVjOFLAA== =5AZW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�: �{Zr�az�'z��j)h���Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��
