I was getting tired of the mtp throwing errors half the time, the directories loading two minutes (not exagerating), the copying taking taking hour, so i said screw it and made my own file transferer that uses ADB, which doesnt rely on the slow as MTP. I made it primarily for myself, but since i already made it why not share it :D
From my testing (over USB 2.0) of copying 8.4GB pictures folder, with my app it took 4m08s, approx 286Mbits/s. With MTP, it was showing it will take hour and 3/4, aprox 10Mbits/s

edit: To go up a directory, double click the list header!

changelog v1.1:

  • Added ability to go above /sdcard/,

  • added text to double click header to go up

  • added pc2android copying

This will be amazing if it works, I've been frustrated with mtp for so many years. Thanks for posting about it.

Edit: Windows only FFS. Guess I'll look at using adb itself as someone else mentioned here.

I love KDE Connect and I don't even use KDE. Automatic pausing of media playback when someone calls is magic

There is adb-sync which I tried and it works great. There are also related tools linked there but I haven't used them.

Pardon my off-topic reply, kbin lacks a Save function. Saved!

I just use cx file explorer, then I can mount my Linux PC using sshfs and transferring files is quite fast

Once you have adb installed, you can just adb pull FILE to get a file from your device to your PC, or adb push SOURCE DEST to move it to the phone, not perfect since it's command line only though...

You can also use adb shell to get a standard UNIX shell on the phone
