I tested Microsoft’s new Android phone in Windows File Explorer feature and now can’t imagine how I lived without it.
KDE Connect? Sounds pretty much like the Windows alternative to that.
or syncthing depending on your use case
I love KDE connect except that it takes out my entire houses wifi.
When I transfer files around 1gb or larger, halfway through the transfer my wifi in the whole house cuts out and my router restarts. It’s an old modem router but I’m at a loss as to what mechanism is causing this.
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. With Microsoft found having uploaded peoples files to OneDrive because they felt like it and jamming advertisements all over their OS, there is no fucking way in hell I’m giving a Microsoft app any access to my files.
Google is bad enough, I got into using Android from the beginning to break free of Microsoft shit. Microsoft has proven to be a very shitty steward for their users.
Let Microsoft upload all my saved porn, like I give af
I’m sure gooners probably don’t care that much. But you not giving a shit, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t.
Who saves porn when ypu can stream it for free?
Who saves anything when you can stream it for free?
Exactly.

Android was released in 2008; And Google wasn’t the behemoth it is today. Microsoft had already shadow-funded multiple companies to try and destroy Linux, as well as many other horrid practices; like inventing ActiveX
Android is Linux under the hood, and open source at that; so I run an Android distribution stripped of Google’s influence. Notice I said that I got into Android and not Google.
This is a bunch of propaganda… KDE connect works and things like warpinator or a app that enables your phone as NAS are also great.
If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use
ftp://phone-ipon the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.deleted by creator
The Android app data folder is absent, likely by design, to prevent accidentally messing up any app installations. Any folder that Android tries to hide on your device is still hidden in File Explorer.
Omg I am the owner of my phone. If i want to see all my folders, show me all my folders.
