I use Nextcloud, but same idea. It annoys me to no end that transferring data over network is the easiest approach. I really wish you could just plug in the phone and have it act as a usb drive the way you used to be able to years ago.
You still can do that, at least with AOSP based OSes.
The only thing is that the destination OS must support the protocol (Debian in raw no, Debian with GNOME yes given some faulty dependencies) and choose in the notifications menu to act as USB drive instead of just charging.
I recently tried it and I am pretty sure that it was a significant drain on my battery. I wasn’t connected to any other devices though, since I only installed the app and then forgot about it. Do you experience the same behavior?
Yes, I experience this on Android. My solution is to only enable syncthing when the phone is charging (it’s in the settings) but my PC being on and my phone being charged doesn’t usually happen at the same time, so I have another computer in my network act as another node in my syncthing network. This way every night when I charge my phone everything from my PC is synchronized to my second computer, which is always on and can synchronize to my phone.
hmm. I think that I had syncthing turned off. But that wouldn’t make sense that it would still drain the battery. Weird, maybe it wasn’t syncthing after all
Syncthing. Set it up once then forget it.

Ah ok, I’m on LineageOS, and does looks like you can get it to mount https://danten.io/debian-mount-your-lineageos-phone/
So is just MTP for transferring files too.
That means that GNOME use FUSE or similar to support it at user level.
I am on LineageOS too.
Using TDE I cannot mount the phone directly. Won’t be detected but I didn’t investigate what I need to mount it.
I know that GNOME use these dependencies and integrates them very well.
I can mount it perfectly with GNOME.
Ah good to know it does work, gonna have to investigate what I’m doing with mine. :)

Use Syncthing-Fork for android. You can set it to only run once per hour, or click a force start button to immediately sync.
Amazing app btw.
