Hi,
My daughter has a new smartphone, a Samsung S8. She want to transfer files to it, but it's not working. Plugging in the phone in her laptop and setting the phone's USB-properties to "file transfer" results in the phone being seen. Unfortunately, from there on it fails. No way to access the phone.
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. 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. (I'd recommend Solid Explorer or - distant second -, ES File Explorer). Also +1 for Kdeconnect. The only down side to Kdeconnect is that the client side gets out of sync (more up to date) than the server side on Linux, because updates through the app store occur more frequently than Opensuse makes KDE updates available. And of course KDE Connect only works on Linux. Long story short: Forget about the that cable. Its just for charging. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
