Hello, everyone!

I have an issue with transferring files. So, when I connect my phone with my PC, the phone detects PC, but not the other way around. Although when I try to use adb, it sees my phone as a connected device. I have tried switching cables and ports, but nothing seems to work. And the funny thing is that it worked before, but it just suddenly stopped working. Any help is highly appreciated!

PC is on Linux Mint 22.1 Phone is Pixel 8 Pro on GrapheneOS.

Thanks!

    Note: I had USB Debugging on for ADB. But yeah, it did work on Mint before. I’m suspecting the issue may be PC side due to an update, but I lack info to check if it’s true.

    I’d rather move files through USB due to its speed and my network can get at most 11MB/s. Moving bigger files (10GB+) with that speed would a pain in the ass, but there probably is no other option.

    I was aware of Syncthing, but I didn’t bother setting it up back then. The other tools I’ll check out and see which work the best.

    Thanks for the helpful information!

      I’ve found speed via USB/MTP is awful because of the instability of MTP, especially with larger files. It’s so unstable that wifi with a sync tool like Resilio is faster in the end (and I don’t have to watch it).
