USB 2.0 is sort of disappointing, though realistically, how often will I actually be transferring files to this device?

I guess I can do some testing of this myself right now with my phone, but I'll ask for anyone who is familiar: should I expect local file transfers over SSH via Wi-Fi to be faster than local file transfers via USB 2.0 anyway?

EDIT: Apparently, you can't just plug the Frame into a computer and have it show up as a mass storage device. It doesn't work like plugging a phone into a computer; it works like plugging a computer into a computer. So the best options for local file transfer are probably:

  • SFTP, KDE Connect, Local Send, Syncthing, etc. via Wi-Fi
  • inserting a Micro SD card or USB C flash drive into a computer, transferring files to it, removing it, inserting it into the Frame, transferring the files to the Frame
  • source
