    What phone do you have? I have a Samsung Galaxy and Samsung's default
    file manager Samsung My Files has an add-o that allows you to access
    samba shares on you LAN. If you have a Samsung just open My Files and
    tap Network Storage and you will be prompted to add the network
    extension. Then all you have to do is setup samba shares on your systems.

    Good point. Looks like it also supports FTP and SFTP in addition to
    samba shares.

    Hi all. despite many efforts I've been unable to get KDE connect or Warpinator to work on LM 22.3. However, I've discovered an app that
    works just fine called File Transfer. Download it from Play Store and install it on your phone and run it and it will connect with a browser
    to display and transfer files. :)

    I have an Android phone and nothing in my Play Store is actually called
    "File Transfer". There are loads of candidates but not with that name.

    GooglerCOs ADB tool (Android Debug Bridge) lets you transfer files in
    both directions over USB. You can also use it to back up installed
    .apk files.
