I know that there are many ways to do this but I want to know which is the best and easy way to do a file transfer.

    I recently tried it and I am pretty sure that it was a significant drain on my battery. I wasn’t connected to any other devices though, since I only installed the app and then forgot about it. Do you experience the same behavior?

      Use Syncthing-Fork for android. You can set it to only run once per hour, or click a force start button to immediately sync.

    • Yes, I experience this on Android. My solution is to only enable syncthing when the phone is charging (it’s in the settings) but my PC being on and my phone being charged doesn’t usually happen at the same time, so I have another computer in my network act as another node in my syncthing network. This way every night when I charge my phone everything from my PC is synchronized to my second computer, which is always on and can synchronize to my phone.
