Just about every method of transferring sucks.
 
Just for the record.
 
Individuals doing this, need a good supply of tooth enamel
to handle the failure cases. For example, some computer rooms,
file sharing is hit and miss, and nothing but trouble.

Paul, I'd be foolish to argue with you. I'll just say that LocalSend
works or me, every time, to transfer to my desktop PC from my Android
phone. This is the _only_ transfer method that has worked for me,
reliably and promptly. (I can MMS-text a picture from my phone to my
PC, but sometimes, for reasons I don't know, such a transfer takes
over an hour or never competes at all.)

Maybe I've just been lucky because I haven't tried to do something
that LocalSend sucks at?
