I have Android (Samsung) based smart phone. The phone can transfer files to other smart phone using at least two ways: Bluetooth and WiFi connection. Is there a way to make my Linux PC be able to receive files (photos and video) similarly?

  • @TomYan No, I mean without using, e.g., Dropbox to transfer the files.

yup tons, just some options:

  • FTP if you install an ftp app on the phone.

  • smb if you install an smb app on the phone

  • bluetooth if you get a bluetooth usb dongle for the pc

  • +1 for FTP. FTPS or even SFTP are decent options if you care about security. Commented Sep 28, 2019 at 10:14
  • ADB is Android specific way. Commented Sep 28, 2019 at 12:48
