Best way to transfer local files to my Android device.
I have a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It comes with the painfully slow USB 2.0. I wish to transfer local music files to it, but it's taking a long time to get copied over USB connection as well as it fails in-between sometimes. Is there any way to transfer the files in a quick and reliable manner?

Why do people sleep on KDE connect? It does a lot of things really well and is OS agnostic.
My reason is that it’s extremely buggy. I find it looses the plot if you are moving more than 1 file at a time, and it often can’t find paired devices even if they are on the same network. Plus it’s over bloated with no default configuration. I.e. I just want to send files. I don’t want it to act as a mouse pointer. And disabling it for each and every device is tedious.
Granted it’s better than any other alternative apps I’ve found. Which is why it’s installed, even on my iPad.
Have you tried LocalSend? Works great for me cross-platform
I did not any it’s beautiful. Good bye KDE connect
Have you tried Warpinator? It only does files and has none of the issues you mentioned.
Need iOS support, and the ability to send many files. Looks cool though.
I personally don't like it because (on android) it insists on auto-starting and continuously running in the background with no options to change that behaviour. Every time I use it and after every reboot I have to force quit the app. It would be a great tool otherwise but I find that annoying af.
