File transfer issue (lemdro.id)

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!

Yes, my phone sends me a notification that tells me my phone is connected to a PC and shows the controls what to do with it.

Could you tell me more about the option?

I don't have another OS installed on my PC currently, but I could install another OS to the virtual machine or just dualboot to some other OS on PC.

Thanks!

It's this menu, accessible through the notification. Honestly I just try each of them in order even if they don't seem to make sense for what I'm trying to do.

I don't remember which one works, but I know it's not always what I expected.

Huh? I tried them out in order and it just randomly started working. Now even on the file transfer mode. Dang it's confusing.

Although it works now, I still learned valuable info from others about network based software I should use, which I will.

Thanks for the help!

It shows some errors while tranferring. So it still doesn't work.

It's really messy. I'll just use network based solutions for that.
