I have a gaming laptop and a phone, both of which have USB 3.2 Gen 2 and Gen 1 ports. I also use a USB 4 Type-C cable. Now, recently, I have downloaded music files of over 300GB. If I transfer them one by one, it takes a lot of time. Today, I compressed the folder to a single zip file, and the transfer finished in less than 20m. Why is that so?
Yeah, MTP is worthless. I always use
adb pushif I need to transfer a lot of stuff.Is adb pull an option to get data off the phone?
Yes,
adb pulltransfers from the phone to the computer.Do you use any GUI program for this or just plain old cmd?
Adb is a command line program. To copy your music folder from home on your PC to internal storage on your phone, you would just open a terminal abd type
adb push ~/Music /sdcard. Pressing tab will autocomplete folder and file names. For some reason/sdcardon android is actually the internal storage. If you have an SD card, it will be in/storage/card_name, where card_name is the UUID of the partition on the card.You do have to enable USB debugging on your phone before you can use adb to transfer files though.
I’ll try this out. Thanks.
