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?

I tried using it but for some unknown reason, it crashes on my PC right when I choose my music folder. Syncthing seems to be working great for me, though.

That's a shame! Be good if someone could look into that later. Glad you found something that works, though.

Thanks just installed this on Linux and my phone and it works.
But it's a bit slow, I only get 3.1 MB/s. USB transfer is way faster.

Alternatively, https://pairdrop.net/ is the same idea (I assume) but runs entirely in your browser which is kinda cool.

Pairdrop is probably a miracle tool for me. Just open the website and send files or text, no configuration, no fuss and it even works outside of the local network.

One day I'll finally set up my own server, but that's just for the fun of it. One hosted at https://pairdrop.net is super solid and I can't remember it failing me.

Very simple, "just works." Great if you want to make a one-time transfer and don't care about syncing files over time.

I love Syncthing, KDE Connect (why is it not Konnect?) and others, but they might be a bit "extra" for this case.
