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.

You may want to check out KDE Connect.
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
I often use just plain old CLI adb push/pull. For Emacs users the built-in tramp-adb support is neat, you can use dired and other Emacs operations as if it was a local filesystem. I also run sshd in termux so scp and rsync are very handy too. Even sshfs mounts work but I use that less frequently.
Mtp is an awful protocol I switched to just using WiFi transfers when Google got rid of the normal mass storage.
Near by share by Google works fast (over WiFi).
It's not working for me with my Windows 11 PC and Galaxy S23 Ultra. They can detect each other but just won't send.
Windows 11 and s21 - works great. One need to enable Bluetooth on pc, though.
Pretty strange. It's definitely enabled for me.
Yes, but after the 3-4 minutes that I need to spend to let the computer see the phone and vice versa
Not my experience. For me works immediately.
I heard it was released for Windows, how well does it work? I might ditch the Samsung Link to Windows app then
For me it doesn't work at all. It keeps losing the phone, unable to find it. I suspect it's some network rule or something with my custom DNS, but I cannot find specifically what it is.
It works pretty well for me. But it can transfer files only, I think link has other features as well.
I do not know any C but I'll definitely try and fail compiling this for macOS because my Switch only connects to Android File Transfer and not to OpenMTP.
Edit: oh no, the Switch doesn't even support ADB because it's running its own thing.
Edit 2: btw why is it that some very specific modding tools are NEVER compiled for everything else but Windows? Of course I can always fire up a VM, but to me Windows is on the same level on my shit list as u/spez.
Does it also support wireless adb?
I don't really want to be a critic of this, but to my eyes,with the video sped up for the copy process it seems fake. I'd love to see a realtime video of this instead.
It's basically just using adb for the transfer in the background.
